Marsdens Raspberry Liqueur Chocolate Truffles bring together a smooth dark chocolate ganache and 13% Fromboise raspberry liqueur, hand-rolled and dipped in chocolate, then finished with a coating of cocoa powder. Like everything Marsdens makes, they're produced in small batches by hand rather than on a factory line, using a traditional approach to ganache that lets the fruit and chocolate flavours come through clearly rather than tasting artificial.
The Guild of Fine Food, which runs the Great Taste Awards, has praised the range for how "the sweetness of the ganache contrasts nicely with the bitterness of the chocolate" — a good summary of what to expect here: a fruity, boozy centre balanced against a slightly bitter dark chocolate coating. They sit alongside Marsdens' other award-winning truffles and fudge as part of a small, traditionally made collection.
