Monty Bojangles News

Greetings all, behold my find of the week; the most fantastically pleasing review written by a customer, found on Ciao:-

"I recently sampled some rather scrumptious truffles and need to tell you all about them as they are simply divine and everyone needs to go out and purchase some and if you get to the end of this review and haven’t gone and sought some out then you are probably too late and they will have already sold out as these are the best kept secret ever!

These spectacular truffles go by the name of Monty Bojangles Fine French Cocoa Dusted Truffles Cookie. They are described as “Tantalizing and tasty fine French luxury truffles with cookie pieces and chocolate chips finished with a generous dusting of exquisite bitter sweet cocoa” and this by the trade descriptions act has to be rated as spot on! There made in Angers, France based on a traditional homemade truffle recipe from 1934. They come in a cute little brown box with a picture of a fresh looking cookie and a really well dusted truffle on and the full description written in white and brown highlighting the ingredients. The box looks luxurious and very expensive and that’s why I was really shocked when I found out the price £2.00 in Waitrose! Unfortunately I don’t live near a Waitrose and sampled some on an aircraft where they were priced at £3.50 and I don’t even think that is over cooking the price as you are buying into true taste heaven. I have also now found out from the product website that they sell online for £2.34 but have a delivery fee of £3.95 so I think it works out cheaper for me to continue to get them off the aircraft. Once you open the box you are faced with a plastic bag that you have to open to get into the truffles I personally don’t really like that and think it cheapens the product and think a different wrapping would make them feel a lot more upmarket. The bag is full of truffles about the size of a small bouncy ball and each one looks equally coated in cocoa dust. The smell is heaven sent and you would be a very strong person to turn down a taste of one of these truffles because as soon as the aroma of fresh chocolate hits your nostrils your tastes buds are screaming let me have one, let me have one! As soon as you bite into one you immediately taste pure chocolate i am not sure how much cocoa content there is in these truffles but I would say quite a bit. You cant put a full truffle in your mouth, as that would spoil the experience, as it really is something to be savoured. As you take your second bite you start to pick up the small pieces of chocolate chip and you also get a really nice texture of chewy pieces that are the cookie but I wouldn’t have known what it was unless I had read the box. The cookie mixture is disguised in the chocolate but then when you have finished the truffle you realise you have experienced a mixture of cookie and chocolate combined without even knowing it they are infused together cleverly and the pleasant aftertaste is of cookie and chocolate. Each truffle seems unique and you get a different amount of choc chip and cookie in each which makes it really nice as some you get are really chocolaty and others really cookie.Once you’ve experienced complete heaven and finally swallow the truffle it glides down your throat like velvet so smooth and soft it doesn’t feel like you have committed a sin at all.

Now I’ve tried these truffles my taste buds are begging for more so I am thinking now which to try next Hot and Heavenly Chilli Cocoa , Scrumptious and Sassy Toffee and Salt Cocoa, Flirtatious and Fruity Orange and Lavish and Luscious Chocolaty. The brand also produces other sweet products that I wont go into but from the success I have had with these truffles I would not think twice about buying other products from the brand. To conclude I like these truffles a little bit and would give them a 1 out of 10 and that stands for 1 million out of 10 I am a big sweetie person but have to admit I never really go for truffles as I normally find them too chocolaty but these are so different to any other truffle I have had before and I have tried quite a few as its something my gran used to get every Christmas for some reason. I think Monty has come up with the perfect product here as not only are they really tasty and frightfully Moorish they come in 100g packs so you don’t over indulge too much to go off them as I have been known to eat too much of something I like and go completely off it. These boxes of truffles are great for 2 as a cheeky treat or as a nice gift that would be totally appreciated if anymore than 2 people tucked in you would be seriously annoyed as you only get about 8 in a pack and you so cannot survive on less than 4 each guaranteed! These would be perfect for after dinner to round off a meal if you were to produce these your guests would be seriously impressed!

The secret is out go and get your box FAST!!!"
