Notes on chocolate: alpha alfajores

Sur Chocolates – of mainly alfajores fame – have brought out a special Christmas edition called the Baubles collection, £35.

Their Eggnog bauble is a cinnamon biscake and eggnog ganache covered in a 33% white chocolate. Is there a little marshmallow inside it? It looks like it. This was the sweetest of the three. Our favourite was probably the Alfa-Jaffa, a 70% dark organic Peruvian chocolate with a vanilla biscake, orange ganache and jelly – very Christmassy and I can never get enough of orange-flavoured things in winter. Monkey Puzzle is a 63% Arriba Ecuadorian chocolate with a monkey puzzle seed-layered biscake and the alfajor’s famous dulce de leche.
