La Perla di Torino Pistachio & Raspberry Truffles, 200g
Raspberry is the perfect partner to white chocolate in these pistachio and raspberry truffles: the sweetness of the chocolate is balanced beautifully by the acidity of the fruit.

Mazet de Montargis Pralines Tin, 250g
Mazet are a luxury French confectioner, and are best known for making the true and original ‘pralines’. Mazet have been producing pralines and chocolates from their workshop in Montargis since 1903.
The recipe for their famous grilled and caramelised almonds has remained unchanged since its invention for the court of Louis XIII in 1636, and Mazet is now almost synonymous with this iconic French candy. The pralines come in a stunning tin, bearing the image of Mazet’s historical boutique on the Place Mirabeau in Montargis.
The floral patterns and scrolling baroque elements hark back to the pralines’ origin in the French royal court. The Mazet de Montargis pralines tin makes a special gift.
These alcoholic gummies are a great gift for tequila lovers. Add them to food hampers and grown-up party bags. Or, skewer them on cocktail sticks to garnish a real margarita.
