    REVIEW: Lindt Pralines Classic

    Lindt pralines have been for a long time my favorite! I tried various Lindt chocolate boxes and I even made a bookmark out of one 🙂

    This chocolate box from the image below is very popular and you can find it in the majority of stores. I bought this box several times.

    I wanted to take photos of half eaten pralines, so you could see what’s inside them, but then I realised it would ruin the surprise. Half of the experience of eating these pralines is the surprise. Even if you read the little book, you will be still surprised by the taste and ingredients and consistency.

    What I liked about these chocolates

    • I like their motto: “Fur Kenner”. It makes me feel like a chocolate expert 🙂
    • All these chocolates are extremely tasty and very refined. I like that the majority of them are in pairs because it is nicer when you share them.
    • What surprised me was the caramel praline, because I usually don’t like caramel, but this one was really, really good.

    What I didn’t like about Lindt Pralines Classic

    • They are very energizing and I wouldn’t recommend eating more than 3 pralines a day.
    • They are a little bit too big. I definitely prefer the Lindt Mini Pralines box, where the pralines are half size.

    Anyhow, these will always be one of my favorite chocolate. It is also a really good chocolate box to give as a gift or to receive 🙂

  • DIY Bookmark from a box of chocolate

    DIY Bookmark from a box of chocolate

    I am a big fan of Lindt boxed chocolates. I bought this very nice looking chocolate box – Lindt Champs-Élysées.

    I had been wishing for it for a while and I was very happy to finally purchase it. I ate all the chocolates and they were really good, although I prefer smaller chocolates. I guess they are suitable for a bigger person, but I personally prefer them to be smaller, like those from this box:

    This is a box of Lindt Mini Pralines. The chocolates are half size and there are 2 chocolates of every kind, so it is really cute to share it with another person and eat the chocolates together.

    Anyhow, the Champs-Élysées chocolates were very tasty and I liked the box SO MUCH, I just couldn’t throw it away. So I had an idea: I cut it and made a beautiful bookmark out of it. Look how great it is!

    It would have been a real pity to throw the box away…

    Every time I read a book, I use this bookmark and it makes me happy.
