Description
What a surprise—where most Zotter Handscooped chocolates are quite sweet to very sweet, this one is something completely different. It is still a filled chocolate (like a bonbon), but this time the chocolate layer is made with 100% cocoa (so no sugar), and the filling contains dates (33%) and cashews (18%). No added sugar, although the dates naturally contain sugar and provide a pleasant sweetness, in our view.
The dates do bring a nice sweetness, but it is also very much that characteristic (and, in our opinion, enjoyable) date flavour that comes through, and it is certainly not overly sweet. A very interesting creation and a great one to try if you enjoy Zotter’s filled chocolates but find some of the others too sweet, or if you simply like dates, or just want to try something different.
Date & Cashew Chocolate: Pure nut-cocoa energy
The makers describe it as: “The pure fruit-nut-cocoa energy, a completely alternative to sugar and vegan. The coating consists of 100% cocoa, without added sugar, but the creation is generally sweet due to a filling of sweet date fruits, made from carefully selected soft dates that melt gently. In addition, a thin layer of finely melting cashew nougat, sweetened only with date syrup, i.e. the juice of the dates.”
