My birthday was this weekend and it involved rather a lot of beer, some Pictionary and some very thoughtful presents from friends and family. Including some Monty Bojangles truffles. I had never heard from Monty Bojangles before, but was already quite taken with the cute cat on the box. I can say without doubt that these are the best truffles I've ever had in my life.
At 2am a room full of tipsy people actually stopped playing Mario Kart to eat all of the birthday truffles (no small feat, this was a Mario Kart WAR). The truffles start melting as soon as you pick one up, they're so creamy and rich. They're damn good. So good that I'm sad I finished them. So good that I'm sad I was drunk enough to share them all.
And somehow, magically, they're not from a swanky London chocolatier that I can't afford. Instead, these little boxes of truffles are just £2.99 from Waitrose. Go immediately. And buy two boxes. You're going to be gutted when they run out.
Monty Bojangles also make the greatest Rhubarb and Custard sweets available outside of the 1940s. Yum.
ReplyDeleteYay! SO glad you love them as much as I do! Their cocoa nibs are my other absolute favourite (although I change my favourite depending which one I am eating at the time).
ReplyDeleteMost people who eat one make a noise not unlike "Mmmmmmmnnnnnggggggawwwwwwwwww".
Sound good. Always good to have a truffle reco at this time of year. It's the time to eat them for sure
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I shared. Rookie mistake.
ReplyDeleteOoh I think these might be the ones they give you when you use First Class on Eurostar - not that I manage to do that often mind (okay it was once). I also want to get some cocoa nibs after watching The Little Paris Kitchen. Look! - http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chocolate_mousse_with_19253
