Introducing The No.1 COLLECTION
Best of a Decade
www.chocs.co.uk/NUMBERONE 3
Now, seized by delicious nostalgia for those winning chocolates, we’ve looked back over 10 sensational years of the Club and have carefully chosen just 18 of those golden greats. They are the Chocolate Tasting Club’s Greatest Hits – The No.1 Collection.
Our tasting trip down memory lane starts in 2000 with Wafeltje Melk, a meltingly soft milk chocolate sandwich – and what a start! Also from 2000 we have the dreamy Elegance with earthy walnuts and praline… Diamant’s marbled white and dark shell was a real eye-catcher from 2001, not to mention the silky chocolate mousse inside!
2002 is represented by one of the classic boozy recipes, Calvados Truffl e, that takes us to the realms of deep, dark and mouth warming fl avours… and the
following year brings us another absolute classic in the form of Marc de Champagne, before
lightening the tone with Macadamia Smoothie, brimming with the natural creaminess of premium macadamia nuts.
In 2004 we fi nd the legendary Griotte
Discover The Tasting Club’s Greatest HitsCelebrating A Decade Of Winners!
Over the last 10 years, Tasting Club members have tasted and rated almost 2,000 chocolates. And from those, only a select few have emerged with the ultimate accolade – the coveted No.1 spot.
Simon Thirlwell, Club News editor
Deluxe – which remained the highest scoring chocolate for several years with its whole amaretto-soaked cherry on a bed of soft white chocolate ganache. Also from that
year we discover the fl avour explosions of Blueberry Bombe, which changed many members’ views of fruit in chocolate… two golden greats from 2005 start with the perfectly named Drunken
Raspberry that clearly didn’t just sound and look good! Then we have the comforting notes and exciting textures of Florentina.
Strawberries & Cream was just one of the fruity highlights of
2006, which continued with the beautifully made Pomegranate Truffl e… while in 2007
members raved about the impressive array of nuts that went into Nut Hamper as well as the synergy of fl avours that created by Raspberry Prosecco.
Bringing us right up to date with recipes that wowed members and swept to the top we have the high scoring Poire Belle William and Raspberry Liqueur Truffl e from 2008… and fi nally, two heavenly creations from 2009, with the bountiful delights of Billionaire Shortbread and the calming escapism of Florentine Dream.

Olivier, Chocolatier
Why Summer Desserts?Desserts, puddings, afters… for many they are the most anticipated part of any meal and it’s not simply because they are the last course. And if you love chocolate, the chances are that you’re partial to a gorgeous dessert too – let’s face it, not many of us can resist either!
That is certainly true of many chocolatiers, who fi nd great inspiration for their own chocolate creations in desserts and often spend long hours researching… Which clearly pays off, because dessert-inspired chocolates regularly score well with Club members.
So what better way to sit back and take a moment to celebrate the Great British summer than with a collection of chocolate desserts – bringing together traditional British favourites and absolute classics alike.
