Marsdens Chocolate Truffles are handmade in small batches by Marsdens Confectionery, a one-person fudge and confectionery maker based in Kintbury, Berkshire. Each truffle pairs a soft, creamy ganache made with cream, butter and a generous 13% brandy with a fine dark chocolate shell, then a dusting of cocoa powder. The result is intensely chocolatey with a clean, warming brandy finish — rich enough for an after-dinner treat, balanced enough not to be sickly.
These truffles have won two Great Taste Awards, in 2016 and 2019, judged by the Guild of Fine Food. Every box of 300g is tied with Marsdens' signature purple ribbon, ready to give as a gift or keep for yourself. They can be served straight from the fridge or left to soften at room temperature for a few minutes, which brings out more of the chocolate and brandy flavour.
