ciao ! chocolate
OREO FROM ANOTHER MOTHER Can an Oreo be thinner , lighter , less bitter and less malted and lighter in chocolate flavour still be an Oreo ? That question gets a resounding yes from Chinese and Japanese consumers who ’ ve embraced the cookie made to suit . Give the strawberry , fig , lemon and rose filled cookies a twist , lick and dunk and we think you ’ ll soon be able to polish off a box of these too .
KITTO KATSU Japan flexes commitment to choco with its iconic variety of Kit Kat . The name , similar sounding to “ kitto katsu ”, meaning “ you will surely win ”, is a symbol of luck . More than 300 flavours have been released in Japan , saluting different regions and seasonal ingredients like cherry blossom , strawberry cheesecake and wasabi . With so many varieties , best get comfortable because that break today may take awhile .
TAKE A TEACAKE BREAK The Scottish confectionery company , Tunnock ’ s known for sponsoring car rallies is loved worldwide for its teacakes . These chocolate domes consist of a small round shortbread biscuit covered with a marshmallow like meringue encased in a thin layer of chocolate . Their mass popularity for tippling in tea or coffee makes them the inspiration for wedding cake designs , art exhibitions and the miniaturized product for dollhouses .
HAVE IT ALL IN ONE Biznikke bars are recognizable for their distinct Argentinean flag coloured wrapper . What lies inside is textural delight in a few small bites . White and milk chocolate encase a chocolate biscuit blending a trio of favourites in one .
LUXE BARS You don ’ t need to visit Cadbury World to know this country knows its chocolate . Produced using a higher milk content then chocolate bars in North America , Cadbury bars have a delightfully silky texture . The Double Decker is made with crispy layers of cereal and smooth nougat , enveloped in super creamy , milk chocolate . In other words , it contains the right ingredients to stand in as breakfast . ciao ! / apr / may / two thousand twenty-three 19
