It’s National Chocolate Week and what better way to celebrate than with a double helping of chocolate…chocolate coated Fudge’s florentines dipped into a thick decadent cherry brandy chocolate sauce. If you haven’t ever had Fudge’s florentines then you must and if you have never tried cherry brandy what’s wrong with you? Cherry brandy smells all almondy and Fudge’s florentines are packed with almonds so they make a fabulous match.
We like our chocolate sauce thick and gooey, but if you prefer a thinner, runnier sauce use up to 30g less chocolate.
Try not to eat it all at once, you may feel a little squiffy and certainly don’t share with the children…yes, you get to keep this all to yourself!
The Grenada Chocolate Company 82% cocoa organic dark chocolate works really well as a pairing with Fudge’s florentines with it’s notes of dried fruit, tobacco and citrus.
