Have you ever eaten it?
The outer box has a chic design based on brown tones. When you open it, you will find a chocolate wrapped like a candy in a shiny gold wrapper. I wonder if it is an apple.
Lots of it.
I appreciate the individual packaging.
The chocolate coating crumbles when you bite into it, and the cocoa flavor is soft and fluffy. Next, soft apples release juicy sweetness. The crunchy texture of the fresh apple pulp is still present and adds a nice accent. The balance between the sweet and sour apple and the bitter chocolate is exquisite.
I like that the chocolate isn't too sweet.
Apples are refreshing
Pomme d'Amour" is the perfect accompaniment to tea time. It would also make a thoughtful souvenir.
