Fruney was another booth we visited at the Auckland Chocolate and Coffee festival. They are based in Hamilton and the handcrafted confectionary goodies are crafted by the Reviakin family. We bought 3 of their chocolate bars: CARAMEL CHOCOLATE PECAN NECTARINE This bar is made with Belgium couverture, topped with freeze dried nectarines and pecans. The caramel chocolate is pleasant. The pecans is a nice combo with the chocolate. The nectarines add a tang rather than a nectarine flavour, though you can find the flavour if you are searching for it. This bar was ok. WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES CREAM Made with Belgium white chocolate that is 28% cocoa. It tastes a bit like Whittakers white chocolate. You can taste the cookies too. A bit sweet for Joni, but it was Johanans favourite of the 3. WHITE CHOCOLATE MATCHA PLUM Made with Belgium white chocolate, Japanese Matcha, freeze dried plum and some dark chocolate.
It is really nice to be able to taste the matcha even though it is only 3%. The freeze dried plums are nice and it is all a nice combo. It is sweet but the plum and matcha tone that down a bit. This was Joni's favourite. These were very pretty bars that do make your mouth water when you see the yummies on top. We found we liked the bars with the ingredients mixed into the chocolate more than just floating on top. Final thoughts was they were pleasant tasting bars that would be nice gifts. We also liked the windows in the packaging.
