Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate, Pistachio, Hazelnut & Almond Theme Week.
Today's Hazelnut Dragee chocolates were from Eclat Chocolate (West Chester, PA).
Aroma notes included: malty, caramelized nut and subtle chocolate (cocoa).
Texture: at the heart of each marble-sized round was a crunchy, toasted whole hazelnut; and each nut was covered in firm dark chocolate and dusted with cocoa powder.
Flavor notes included: firm, smooth dark chocolate, toasted hazelnut and very light caramel, cocoa, vanilla and malt notes.
These dragees were attractive, well-balanced, and well-executed, bite-sized confections. (They're good by themselves; and would make a nice pairing with coffees/lattes, or wines/sherry and cheese.)
Ingredients: Dark chocolate (min. cacao 60% couverture chocolate, cocoa mass, sugar, soya lecithin, natural vanilla), roasted hazelnuts.
Allergen-related information: "Product may have trace elements of nuts, soy and dairy."
