Choc Chip & Cherry biscuits, V&A Museum

These biscuits come in a 200g tub priced at £3.50 and are absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!  They're my favourite of the V&A biscuits!  Very more-ish indeed and are best dunked in your hot chocolate (or tea/coffee!)  They're available at the V&A ground floor giftshop and also through their website HERE

The tub design is Leicester wallpaper designed by John Henry Dearle (1860 - 1932)

Williams Sonoma Chocolate Mocha coffee syrup

This 251 ml bottle of chocolate mocha coffee syrup was bought from Harrods food halls, and priced at £14, so rather pricey.  It can be used over icecream or in cockftails but also a teaspoon can go in your mug of coffee or hot chocolate as a luxurious booster - and boy, is it luxurious!!!  It's DEFINITELY worth the money!!!

This doesn't seem to be listed on the Harrods website, despite it being on the shelves in their food halls.  Harrods also stock Hazelnut flavour and another flavour too (Vanilla???) but I have found it listed on this American website HERE for US$12.95

If you see it available elsewhere, let me know and I'll update here.

Mozart white chocolate liqueur drink.

This is an Austrian kirsch mixed with white chocolate cream (along the lines of Baileys liqueur) and is seriously yummy!!!  More commonly found in Continental Europe - seen often in Airport duty free - but is also available in Harrods in London though currently priced (Feb 2017) at £19 a bottle.

Mozartkugeln chocolates

These Mozartkugeln (Mozart sweets or Mozart balls) are one of my most favourite chocolates which I originally discovered over 30 years ago.  Whenever I see them in European duty free shops, I always make a point of buying at least one box!!!

These are spherical chocolates, with a pistachio centre, surrounded by chocolate marzipan, regular marzipan and an outer coating of milk chocolate, then wrapped in a gold foil wrapper.


There are several different packagings of these, in various boxes and tins, these shown here produced by the Mirabell company.

These items can be purchased (widely at European duty free and elsewhere) HERE which are the Mirabell Mozartkugeln, marketed on the boxes as "real" Mozartkugeln
The Furst manufacturer Mozartkugeln can be purchased from HERE which are the original chocolates, in silver foil wrapping.  I've never tried those ones - they don't seem to have the pistachio centre though - but considered it in the interest of fairness to include a related item with the same name!

History regarding the various names of the Mozartkugeln can be found in Wikipedia HERE
