Montezumas Chocolate American Idol - 9 Milk Chocolate Truffles with Salted Caramel 120g

Fair warning: once you start on these, stopping is the hard part. American Idol is Montezuma's best-selling truffle, and this 120g box holds nine of them, each one a smooth milk chocolate shell wrapped around a flowing salted caramel centre. They are a crowd-pleasing choice for gifting, sharing after dinner or treating yourself at the end of a long week.

Tasting notes

The milk chocolate shell is creamy and generous, giving way to a soft, runny caramel with a gentle seasoning of sea salt. That touch of salt is what makes these so moreish, cutting through the sweetness and bringing out the buttery notes of the caramel. A little white chocolate completes the recipe for extra creaminess. They are rich, so one or two is usually enough to satisfy - in theory, at least.

About Montezuma's

Montezuma's began in 2000, when Helen and Simon Pattinson swapped careers in law for chocolate after a trip through South America. Their first shop opened in Brighton, and the chocolate is still crafted in the UK today, now from a base near Chichester in West Sussex. The brand has always had a playful streak, which is why so many bars carry cheeky names, but the approach to ingredients is taken seriously: no palm oil, ever.

How to enjoy it

Serve them with coffee at the end of a dinner party, tuck the box into a hamper, or bring them along as a host gift. Because the caramel is soft, they are best enjoyed at room temperature, when the centre is at its silkiest.

Good to know

For the best flavour and snap, store in a cool, dry place and avoid the fridge where possible, as moisture can cause a harmless white bloom on the surface. Once opened, fold the wrap closed or pop the chocolate into an airtight container.
