I first discovered these heavenly goodies at Santi's Rockwell, while out on a meeting. I was intrigued by its packaging, with it's shiny paper and interesting flavors.
They have over 7 different flavors to choose from: Funkey Monkey (marshmallow and crispies), The Rock (hazelnut and almond), Paparazzi (sorry I missed this) the cocktail-inspired: Singapore Sling (cherry,brandy), Mojito (rum, raisins and mint), B-52 (caramel, baileys, almond stick); the sugar-free alternative, Health Nut (pistachio and cashew); and the interesting Halo-Halo (langka, gummies strawberry), which really tastes like our own native treat.
When asked what makes these chocolates different from the commercial/grocery ones, Chef informed us that these bars uses Felchlin chocolates, which he considers the best. The chocolates are made from 100% all natural ingredients, which explains why the shelf life for these bars are faster than the regular ones (3 months from production).
I drooled at the sight of these chocolates, handed to us in a huge platter, in all its varieties (sorry I didn't get a picture of this amazing platter). Unfortunately, I only got to try the Halo-Halo, Rock and Singapore Sling. I was too shy to try everything, plus the fact that I felt like I was choking (ya, water was not served).
He recommended The Rock and said it was his favorite. True enough, it was heavenly. Bits of dark and white chocolates with hazelnuts and almonds all in one bar.
I ended up going home with this box, beaming like a child.
Guess what I took home? Tadaaah...
