Christmas is the season where festive flavours seem to infiltrate everything.
2020 is the year of chocolate orange but at least Lindt is taking a little step beyond that.
The brand is making a candy cane version of its famous Lindor truffles.
The outside is white chocolate with flecks of candy cane, and a rich minty centre.
Initially launched in Canada, you can now pick up a box in the UK from treat importer GB Gifts for £5.99 a 150g box.
As they are imported, they are pricier than the usual flavours – 200g of the milk chocolate ones usually cost around £4 in stores here.
Sadly, they are currently sold out on the site but keep an eye out for more coming soon.
The chocolates were spotted and tried out by Kev from the popular @Kevssnacksreviews page on Instagram.
He said: ‘I love a white chocolate Lindor, and was curious how the addition of Candy cane might potentially improve/ruin it…
‘Luckily it works! There’s crunchy candy cane pieces in the shell atop the classic smooth filling, it’s nicely minty but the white chocolate tempers the flavour so it’s not too overpowering. The chocolate melts in the mouth nicely leaving little crunchy candy cane pieces. Yum!’
The site also has lots of other Lindor flavours imported from across the world, including snickerdoole white chocolate and Dulce de Leche.
If you want to pick up some with your supermarket shop though, earlier this year, the brand launched a salted caramel version here.
