Rich dark chocolate truffles but the cherry is nearly drowned out
Each of these big chocs weighs about 22 grams and has a very thick bittersweet dark chocolate shell decorated on the top with a pretty design 2 red cherries attached to milk chocolate stalks. Inside is a very rich and unctuous dark chocolatey alcohol ganache with a small kirsch soaked cherry in the middle. Unfortunately the boozy cherry whilst tasty is almost an afterthought, being almost completely overwhelmed by the predominant powerful cocoa combination of the shell and ganache.This is the second type of Ickx I have tried and a very thick outer chocolate shell, especially on the top is common to both. For me the emphasis should be on the filling inside, with a light chocolate shell as an introduction to the delights to follow after the shell is broken.

As in I'd happily eat them if they were hanging about
I'm a bit mixed on these.Pros:- chocolates taste nice/ok. As in I'd happily eat them if they were hanging about, but I wouldn't particularly go out of my way to buy them.- at around £7.70/kg they're reasonably cheap for ok tasting chocolate.Cons:- the packaging is very ugly.- the packaging isn't well sealed/not sure how fresh they'd stay if not eaten soon.I did like them and ok at the price, but honestly I prefer Lily O'Brien's.

not bad at all but...
the dog got at them and ate over 650g!He is fine, but I am very annoyed about it as these are quite nice - on a Warehouse Deal I thought that they were good value, but not worth the full price. For eg there is Amaretto in them but you would never know it. I had to eat all the chocolate off the filling to get an idea of what the filling tasted like - perfectly pleasant, but bland.

Delicious rich dark cherry chocolates!!!!
Yummmm!I was searching for a cherry chocolate as my usual favourites from hotel chocolat are not available!!! I think I’ve found a winner here!The outside dark chocolate is crisp and inside the ganache is soft and smooth with a yummy cherry hidden inside!I would say these are more for lovers of dark chocolate as it can be a bit rich but i love that you only need to eat one to feel satisfied and feel like you’ve had a treat! You can definitely taste the alcohol which I love but can understand some of the other reviews who say it can be a little overpowering but I love them!Only down side is the size of the box! I tookA gamble buying 1kg but in my desperation for a good cherry chocolate I took the risk! I’m so pleased I did.

Terrific delicious chocolates
These chocolates are gorgeous. We've ordered some in the past that seem to have a lots of sugar granules in them but these are just really moreish and delicious. One review said you feel satisfied after one .. not us!!!! I'd definitely order again .. my worry is there's only two of us and there's a kilo of them!!!!
