Neuhaus Dark Chocolate Bear with Salted Caramel Pieces, 100g

The Neuhaus Dark Chocolate Bear with Salted Caramel Pieces is a hollow dark-chocolate figure, standing just over 10 centimetres tall, with little shards of salted caramel scattered through the shell. You crack the shell first. That's half the fun. The chocolate is dark and slightly bitter, and the caramel pieces give a sharp, sudden crunch against it. It's made in Belgium, at Neuhaus's own workshop near Brussels, by a house that's been making chocolate since 1857. Is this your first time buying from us?

Because it's hollow, the shell is thin and genuinely fragile. Hold it over a plate when you break it, not over the sofa.

• Dark chocolate with crisp salted-caramel pieces
• Hollow figure, so handle gently
• Made entirely in Belgium near Brussels
• Cocoa sourced from Ecuador and West Africa
• Stands 10.5 cm tall, weighs 100 g

Meet the maker: Neuhaus

Neuhaus Chocolates are one of the finest chocolate houses in Belgium – and perhaps the world. The silky smooth chocolate is beautifully delicate and has a wonderful snap, all blended with exquisite ingredients, carefully sourced for the very best flavour. The iconic chocolatiers are also heralded as the inventors of Belgian filled pralines. Neuhaus uses 100% sustainably sourced cacao for their chocolates as well as investing in their own cacao plantation in Ecuador. Any ingredients that are added to the chocolates, be it nuts, fruit or coffee, are 100% natural. Neuhaus was started by Jean Neuhaus in 1857. He opened a pharmacy in Brussels, and as a way to thrill his customers, he covered their medicines in a thin layer of chocolate. Fast forward to 1912, Jean’s grandson swapped medicine for an indulgent chocolate centre, inventing what we now know and love as the praline.
