Booja Booja Around Midnight Espresso Truffles Review

To be honest, I thought these were cheaper than they were. But not only do you get the three absolutely fantastic truffles, but you also get a great little trinket box to keep as well. My girlfriend decided she'd have the box even before I managed to review it. The girls in the office loved it too. So if you're looking for somethign different from 'the norm' then perhaps the Booja Booja Around Midnight Espresso Truffles offerign from Ethical Superstore is a good one to try?

The box is handpainted by 'Kashmiri artisans' on the India, Pakistan border. It gives them a source of income in the troubled area and I have no problems supporting them. if you're buying for a vegetarian or a vegan they're suitable too. They're also non-gmo, gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy free and 'utterly delicious'.

When you open up the the trinket box, you'll find youself looking at three handmade truffles rapped in 'golden' foil. You may be disapointed then. But don't be, they taste absolutely fantastic. You'll find yourself savouring every bite!

Its difficult to say they taste of Kashmir as I don't know what that tastes of. But they do taste fantastically natural, light and with a balanced hint of expresso coffee.

The aroma is just as delightful. It doesn't knock you over, it quitely seduces you into taking another bite.


For £7.99, they're expensive, but its worth it when you know you're money is going to support troubled communities. So its well worth it.

Sitting here typing they're winking at me saying "have another" so I will and I know you'll love them.

You can get them from: Ethical Superstore.
Also you can get three for £23.99 from Chocolate Trading Co.
