Makana Confections are hand made. They have two factories, one is the Bay of Islands, the other in Marlborough. We meet them at the Chocolate and Coffee festival and bought their Truffle Medley box. The truffles are quite small. There are 4 different flavours.
CHERRY ARMAGNAC TRUFFLE Dark chocolate, cherry flavour and Armagnac Brandy. This was nice and fruity with natural flavours. LEMON TRUFFLE A nip of lemon in white chocolate. This was Joni's favourite. Nice citrus peel lemon flavour that went well with the sweetness of the white chocolate. CLASSIC VANILLA TRUFFLE Milk chocolate, vanilla and pure New Zealand Cream. This was Johanan's favourite. You can taste the chocolate, it has a nice vanilla flavour and it is sweet. ORANGE CREAM TRUFFLE Milk Chocolate, fresh cream, Grand Marnier truffle centre, chocolate hail sprinkles. Not too strong and orange peel taste. Pleasant. FINAL THOUGHTS These are nice little bites. We like our choccies a bit bigger. They are quite sweet, but the flavours are nice. We actually really enjoyed a sample we had from their booth at the Chocolate and Coffee festival. It was the Pinot Noir. That was really nice.
