very special
My grandparents mailed them to us for Christmas when i was a child, but I haven't had these for many years. I haven't opened the new package, but if they're the same as in the past, they are a special treat: a sugar-chocolote shell filled with Asbach Uralt brandy. So the texture is a bit crunchy, and the sugar takes the edge off of the brandy. It's a unique experience both from a flavor and texture standpoint. They're great as an after-dinner treat...one or two per person...to transition to after-dinner coffee or aperitifs.
