Notes on chocolate: baked goods raise the bar

‘A worthy entry into any Christmas stocking’: Cookie Chip from Pump Street.

A few weeks ago, I spoke about baked goods in chocolate. Pump Street were, if not the first, certainly one of the first to do this with their sourdough ‘waste’ mixed into chocolate. Now there’s a new bar from them which is very much nothing short of amazing. The Cookie Chip (£6.75, 70g) is part of its Bakery Series. It’s chocolate chip cookie ‘baked to a caramelised crisp’ and enrobed in 60% Ecuadorian cocoa chocolate. It also heralds Pump Street’s new packaging, which is based on the ‘Suffolk pink’ of the bakery. A worthy entry into any Christmas stocking.

Lumi’s caramelised nut milk chocolate bar is its worthy bestseller and now has a dark (ergo vegan) counterpart in the form of the Vegan Nuts (£6.75, 100g). This is perfect for those (like me some of the time) who like their dark chocolate not too dark (it’s 54%) with the excitement of inclusions.
