Although the majority of adults have no problem when it comes to picking an alcoholic drink of choice, this set of truffle chocolate pieces from Fortnum & Mason puts a clever spin on what it means to "pick your poison."
The chocolate truffles are infused with an assortment of alcoholic beverages, from Fortnum's own Prosecco and London Gin to Marc de Champagne. These infusions are rounded out by fruit flavors like blackcurrant, lime and peach puree that make for intoxicating combinations with the rich milk chocolate.
While only the branding of these intriguing treats is Halloween-themed, as Fortnum & Mason aptly puts it, this is "a Hallowe'en gift which will be appreciated long after the witching hour" by mature trick-or-treaters.
