Sticky Toffee Pudding Truffle

To celebrate our first birthday in our new shop on the High Street, Hastings, we had a competition where customers could design a limited edition chocolate. We had an adult winner and a child winner, and this was the successful entry in the former category. Why did I choose it... well I narrowed the entries down to a shortlist of 5 or 6 flavours then ran them past the team. Sticky Toffee Pudding was the the option that had every single member of the team excited. And I figure if the team are excited by it, then our customers will be too! I did modify the concept slightly. The original idea was for it to be an enrobed square piece rather than a moulded one. But I thought making it in a cup shaped mould would make it look like an individual sticky toffee pudding. So we have a layer of caramel sauce and a layer of sticky toffee pudding milk chocolate ganache, all in a milk chocolate shell, and decorated with golden lustre dust in an attempt to represent custard. Having tried a reject piece I can confirm these really are very nice indeed! Sticky Toffee Pudding Truffle is our limited edition micro batch flavour for July.
