Picture the end of a long Nairobi day. Dinner's done, the kettle's on, and you want something small that feels like a reward. Bite into one of these and the milk chocolate gives way to a soft, creamy centre with a gentle warm hum of Irish whiskey running through it. It's smooth, a little indulgent, and unmistakably for adults. Grab a box to round off a meal, or hand one over as a gift that actually lands.
First the chocolate. Soft, sweet Belgian milk chocolate that melts fast rather than snapping. Then the centre takes over: a velvety cream-liqueur filling, rich like a spoon of dessert, with a low warming note of Irish whiskey curling underneath. Think vanilla and a whisper of oak, but it's the creaminess that leads, not the booze. There's only a trace of alcohol here (around 2% whiskey in the filling), so the whiskey reads as cosy warmth more than a kick. Sweet, smooth, comforting. One is never quite enough.
The details
Pairs well with
Where they're from
These come from Belgium, home of pretty much the best chocolate on earth. They're made by Hamlet, a family-run chocolatier that's been at it in the little town of Vrasene since 1956, when Alfred Geltmeyer started out of a small bakery. Cupido is their liqueur-filled range, and the trick is they use proper named-brand spirits in the centres rather than vague flavouring. Hence the genuine Irish whiskey here. The cocoa's responsibly sourced too, if that's your thing.
