| The red ones on the bottom right picture are Milk chocolate versions. |
Why it delights me: For the simple reason that it is chocolate. I found these French-made chocolates by chance when I was roaming around a certain supermarket. When I think of
a Casino, I certainly don't associate it with chocolate. I was definitely iffy about the name, neither was I impressed by the packaging...but being an impulsive grocery shopper, I figured, what the hell... My initial skepticism was immediately lost the moment I took that first bite. This melt-in-your mouth delight combines a dark nutty hazelnut exterior with a rich soft and creamy center that simply puts a smile on my face. I wasn't aware of it, but according to a friend of mine, the Casino brand is a known group in France and are known for a variety of other products. I'm looking forward to checking them out soon...

| Best to make sure that it's kept at a warm room temperature to ensure that the inside is soft and creamy. I like to warm it on top of my computer monitor just to get that texture. I don't recommend eating it cold, as the texture is just not the same. |
