Tenderstem Tender-Choc chocolates have been created in partnership with the Chococo chocolatier as a sweet treat that features an unexpected ingredient in the mix. The chocolates come in boxes of nine servings that are crafted with a 72% Ecuador origin dark chocolate and filled with a green-hued ganache crafted with real Tenderstem broccoli along with a fresh Dorset cream. The result is a complexly flavored chocolate product that's perfect for gifting to a loved one or friend who will appreciate the obscure nature of the treat.
Brand Director at Tenderstem David Samuels spoke on the Tenderstem Tender-Choc saying, "This Valentine’s Day, we wanted to offer something truly special and unexpected for lovebirds, to allow Brits to reflect their unique and special feelings with a unique and special gift. We are thrilled to have joined forces with Chococo for this truly one-off offering and inject some classic Tenderstem cheekiness into the annual day of romance.”
