Does anybody actually like chocolate liqueurs?!

[Renlay]

Or do I mean liqueur chocolates? I didn't even know they made these anymore until I found some in the cupboard earlier.

Having forgotten how much I always hated them, and being greedy desperate for a chocolate hit, I ate one. Or rather - I tried to! Bleurch!

Does anyone out there like them?

No. But when they're the last of the Christmas chocolates, needs must.

Ugh no, awful!

Cherry liqueurs! Yum!

Nope, yuck.

Also violet or rose type ones 🤮

I am not a fan but DH loves them.

Yes to cherry liqueurs! Mon Cheri! Yum!
As for straight-up chocolate liqueurs? Not even as a last resort.

Love them! Especially the ones that are shaped like mini bottles

It's strange isn't it?

Chocolate - ✅
Alcohol - ✅
Alcohol in chocolate - 🤮

I love Leonidas cherry liqueurs.

Those were the culprits @TheVanguardSix!

No. But I left some in the bin outside once and a squirrel got pissed on them.

I knew the squirrel and he was usually a very docile chap, but he was out of his tree that day. Yelling at magpies and what not.

He was fine. I have him lots of wholemeal toast the next day to soak it up.

That squirrel is the only living being I’ve known to enjoy liqueur chocolates.

Weirdly I was going to start this exact thread last night. I don't get it at all. The booze just ruins it. I will tolerate a champagne truffle but it has to be very subtle. I really don't like it when the booze is totally overpowering - Hotel Chocolat, I'm looking at you.

Is it weird to say 'I don't know' if I like them?

Like I can't tell if I do or don't?

I don't think I really do like them.

But to me they're a sort of Christmas tradition. Eat one as they're passed round. Then you can discuss how weird they are. Have another for luck.

So while the chocolate itself is shite. They have a place in my heart.

• the Baileys truffles however! Those I DO like.

That is hilarious. I am picturing a drunken belligerent squirrel lurching around swigging from a little chocolate bottle.

Yuck, no.

Though I am intrigued by the Bailey's truffles pp has mentioned....

Yes! Yum. Haven't seen them for years though?
I remember sneaking a few as a child at my granddad's house.

@SmidgenofaPigeon - thanks for the laugh. What a lovely image.

And you giving him toast for his hangover. I love the whole story.

One trip to Centre Parcs I put a few Ferraro Rochers out for the squirrels as we'd run out of the nuts we'd taken for them and it was Christmas and we were awash with chocolates.

The furry little bastards LOVED them. Nutella all over their faces.

(Still do feel a bit guilty though! Hope I didn't make any of them sick!)

I love the mini bottles with real liqueurs in them

I'm not sure they do them with the pure alcohol in them - isn't it just a ganache now ?

Haha-same here..
Needs must&when desperate for a fix ive been known to dust off a manky box of the devils own creation..kind of crush out the liquer into sink so as its not such an assault-always regret it : )
Even got the teen DC to try them last new year-initially excited at the thought of illicit booze-in-choc...then refused to speak to me as they tasted so bad.

I love them! The polish brands are best

Yabu. Cherry liqueurs are lush. One time, I discovered a Pernod version, omg, so good!

I love them too, especially mon cheris (the lidl knock off version is also tasty)

Also like Baileys truffles, and champagne truffles.

Really fancy some chocolate now but I've only got cooking chocolate.

I love them! The polish brands are best

Yes, I like the Solidarnosc ones in Tesco, although the liqueur is on the harsh side - I kind of like the burn!

Not as good as Leonidas though.

Haven’t had chocolate liqueurs for ages.
But proper mini chocolate bottles with real booze are brill.
I need to find some now. 🍫🥃

M&S chocolate cherry liqueurs are rather splendid.
