I think this might be the first time I’ve ever had a plum covered in milk chocolate. I also understand why this isn’t a very popular treat to make, particularly since this plum is dried. For those not connecting the dots, a dried plum is a prune, and few people think it’s a good idea to eat copious amounts of prunes. I also don’t think about prunes as being a fancy fruit, or even one that fits into the western candy world.

No matter what you might think of prunes, they actually work very well with chocolate. The thing I liked most about these chocolates is that they included the whole prune, not just small pieces. The candy itself is pretty substantial, and the main part of this candy is the dried plum. It also feels like this prune is a little plumper than some prunes I’ve had on their own. It feels like these are a little juicier than your average prune and that works really well with the chocolate coating.

That chocolate also works very well with this massive piece of fruit. I feel like it’s a milk chocolate, but right on the edge of being a dark chocolate. It’s a little bitter, but not as bitter as most dark chocolates I’ve had in the past. This makes it a great balance for the really sweet prune in the centre of this treat. Both seem to balance each other out very well both in taste and texture.

The thing about this chocolate is that the minute you bite into it, you know that you’re eating a large piece of fruit. Some candies shy away from the squishy fruit texture by either chopping up the fruit or in some cases just using a fruit flavour. I like the idea of biting into a chocolate and knowing that the fruit is in there, it felt rustic but still classy. I guess my only warning is to watch how many of these you eat in a sitting, you might end up liking these too much and that could lead to an embarrassing situation.
