I tried and compared four types of MUJI "cacao truffles". Raspberry macaroons, pistachios, orange peel, salted caramel. All of them are nice to have a good volume, but which one is better if you buy only one?


The price of all cacao truffles is 290 yen (tax included) per bag, each containing 100 g, and the calories are equivalent to 590 to 606 kcal. The country of origin is France.

Raspberry macaroons

First of all, from "Raspberry Macaron". Macaron is crushed and kneaded into a rich cacao truffle, and it is characterized by its smooth melting in the mouth.


Macaron crunch has a firm texture. Is it more crispy than crispy? It has a strong berry flavor, and it has a slightly liqueur-like taste combined with the bitterness of cacao.

pistachio

Then challenge "pistachio". Cacao truffles are kneaded with crushed pistachios. After all it is characterized by good melting in the mouth.


It also has a liqueur-like flavor and bitterness. Thanks to this, the pistachio scent is not noticeable, but the crispy and crispy texture is unique.

Orange peel

As the name suggests, "orange peel" is made by kneading orange peel chopped into cacao truffles. The peel has a small grain, so the texture and tongue are modest. You can feel the smoothness of the truffles in the mouth better than others.


It has a strong citrus flavor and is more like orange liqueur than orange peel. The bitterness stands out.

Salt caramel

"Salt caramel" is a cacao truffle kneaded with a small salt caramel. You can feel the strongness of charred sugar.


Unlike the other three types, the liqueur-like flavor that goes through the nose is inconspicuous, and the caramel's individuality is strong.

There are plenty of 4 types, so it is not recommended to buy them all at once at home. If you choose one, be sure to try pistachios. The combination of soft truffles and crunchy nuts was a particularly enjoyable flavor.
