This is the second in my line up of premium strawberry Tirol. I was intrigued by the name - what does "chocolat au confiture" even mean?
Well luckily for me Google had the answer - confiture means confection or jam, and chocolat is the French word for chocolate.
Tirol have created a chocolate featuring strawberry jam in the middle. Obviously the French word for it sounds much more exotic.
The outside layer is white chocolate with a thick milk base followed by a large layer of strawberry jelly dead centre.
Biting into this is like eating a cloud, it's so soft, the base is like a whipped mousse and the jelly in the middle is soft and tasty. The white chocolate outer layer is softer than normal, more like a ganache.
My only negative is that it is very very sweet and that might put some people off. In no way is it a fake strawberry flavour, the tartness in the jelly makes sure of that, but with the white chocolate and the strawberry jam, this was just tooth achingly sweet and I needed water after eating one.
