David Lebovitz is hosting Sugar High Friday #27. The theme he has chosen is:
Chocolate, more precise, chocolate by brand!
I confess: I buy mostly „no name“ chocolate. As Swiss of course I like Lindt, Cailler, Camille Bloch, Maestrani, but normally I bought Chocolate Frey at Migros (a Swiss supermarket). I prefer chocolate with hazelnuts, almonds or another crispy filling, i.e. Ragusa, Minor.
When I moved to Spain first I missed Chocolate Frey. Of course you find Lindt, Toblerone and during a short time Migros even exported chocolate to Spain, but unfortunately they stopped it. :-(
I tried Spanish chocolate too, but I don’t like it so much. So I was very lucky when I found Swiss chocolate called Xocriolata.
This chocolate tastes quite good and I even suspect it’s produced by a known Swiss brand. For SHF#27 I used this Swiss chocolate, bought in Spain, I made an Italian specialty: Baci (kisses). Really international, isn’t it? ;-)
Baci
makes about 20 small baci
Delicious!
Filling
50 g milk chocolate (31%)
10 g butter

Place dark chocolate in a small sized stainless steel bowl. Melt over bain marie. Take the Baci out of the fridge, coat with dark chocolate.

Beautiful Baci…why buy them when you make it look so easy, and tasty?!
Well done, zorra!
I will definitely have to try making these! One of my best friends loves them, particularly the little fortunes that come inside. I bought her a box of them one day and she gave me one and it didn’t have a fortune inside, so she gave me another one and it didn’t have a fortune inside either! All of the ones she had eaten had fortunes in them. She insisted on giving me a third one and finally a fourth before I got a fortune!
Anything with nutella in it is just great by me!
Ich kann dir ein paar Tafeln Frey-Schoggi schicken, wenn du willst!
chocolate and hazelnuts.. so yummy! your baci look so delicious!
Die Schokolade ist von Plus, genau die selbe gibt es in Deutschland auch. :-) Mir schmeckt sie leider gar nicht, ich finde, sie hat einen seltsamen Nachgeschmack im Abgang.
These look so delicious and yet simple to make! Bookmarked!

Hast du den Nachgeschmack bei beiden Sorten? Ich muss gestehen, die schwarze Schokolade habe ich bis jetzt noch nie pur gegessen. Und die Milchschokolade, ist gut aber kommt natürlich nicht an die Frey ran. ;-)

Yes it is! Try it! :-)
