Luxury Chocolate Planets

by Martin's Chocolatier

Martin's Chocolatier of Nottingham (UK) is a premium online chocolate shop selling luxury speciality chocolates from a wide range of internationally-renowned European artisan chocolatiers. This "Luxury Chocolate Planets" set of nine Belgian chocolates is based on the planets and the Sun. It is sold in a smart linear presentation box which shows which chocolate represents each planet and what the different centres are:

Orange cream (The Sun), Chilli/cherry ganache (Mercury), Peachy cream (Venus), Praline cream (Earth), Caramel salt (Mars), Praline (Jupiter), Mocha cream (Saturn), Blueberry ganache (Uranus) and Toffee caramel (Neptune).

The chocolates themselves are truffles (soft centre with decorative shell) which are all handmade using 100% Belgium chocolate. They are about 2.5 to 3cm in diameter and 107g (3.77oz) altogether.

With only 9 chocolates in the box, they work out pretty pricey and some have found that the set they received looks a bit different from how the chocolates appear in the promotional pictures. A bit of variance is to be expected with a handmade product. Notwithstanding, reviewers generally consider them to be classy rather than gimmicky and "a fun way for kids to learn the solar system". Some people have even bought a set as decorations for a space-themed birthday cake which is an interesting idea!
