Chocolate Brown is a Chocolaterie in Warkworth and Paraparaumu. They specalise in chocolate pralines, truffles and novelties, all handmade using Barry Callebaut couverture with New Zealand butter and cream. We did our Wellington chocolate tour just before the opened up in Paraparaumu so we were pleased to see them at the Chocolate and Coffee festival. We bought their Chocolatiers Favourites 8 box. CAPPUCCINO White chocolate and espresso in white chocolate. This was nice with a real cappuccino coffee flavour. MACADAMIA GINGER Macadamia and gingerbread spiced praline in 72% dark chocolate, topped with sugared ginger. Not overly strong in ginger. This was a pleasant choccie. STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI Strawberry and vodka infused with white chocolate ganache. This tasted a bit like a strawberry lollipop. It was nice. PLUM Dark Chocolate with Doris Plum fruit and gin infusion. Joni's favourite. Very nice plum flavour, really yummy. WHISKEY WALNUT CARAMEL Firm caramel with whiskey and toasted walnuts in 72% dark chocolate. Little bit of a whiskey bite, with nice flavours with the walnut. Very nice. ESPRESSO Dark 53% chocolate ganache with hot pressed espresso, in milk chocolate, finished with a coffee bean. This was Johanan's favourite. Chocolate flavours as well as real coffee, really nice. LEMON CELLO White ganache with limoncello liqueur in white chocolate with yellow sugar crystals. There is not an overly strong lemon flavour with a slight alcoholic bite. The was a nice surprise. We ate it before we realised we didn't get a photo of it. GINGERBREAD A hint of European gingerbread, wrapped in white chocolate with red sparkle deco. This did taste like a creamy gingerbread. Very nice. FINAL THOUGHTS
These were really yummy. We think this is the yummiest choccie selection box we have tried to date. Other flavours we would like to try from Chocolate Brown: Whiskey fig, Margarita, Salted Caramel, Port Prune, Red velvet rose.
