Kcal ??? Fat ??? Fat(sats) ??? Carbs ???Coffee...yum....Lindor truffles...yum....I had high hopes for these.
Good luck finding these in a packaged Lindor box selection as I dont think one actually exists...I found these as part of a pick-a-mix selection in my local Whittards shop. I bought four of these which more than made for a substantial portion.
Each truffle came in an individual wrapper that didnt look too dissimillar to the 70% cocoa dark truffles - a dark wrapper with white writing. The truffles were comprised of a thick outer dark chocolate shell with a smooth coffee flavoured truffle centre - they looked nice in appearance though were a bit lacking in anything more than a subtle cocoa smell.
Each truffle had a nice thick outer coating of dark chocolate. As I let the truffles chill slightly in the fridge before eating them the coatings provided a nice firm crack when i bit into them...this firmness provided a great combination of textures with the soft buttery melt in the mouth truffle fillings and was one that I found particularly sumptuous.
The dark chocolate outer shell had a rich cocoa flavour that I can only presume was the 70% Lindt dark brand. Despite its strong flavour it avoided being bitter and once melted had a particularly luxurious smooth taste. The inner truffle was equally as good and despite its light nature provided a great tasting fresh coffee flavour that really delivered in quality. I would genuinely say the quality of coffee flavour was among the best I have tasted on ChocolateMission including my all time favourite Trader Joe's coated coffee beans.
Overall these are some of the best truffles I have genuinely ever tasted - they score on a par with the original Lindt Lindor milk chocolate truffles and justifiably so. These truffles expertly marry the dark chocolate and coffee elements superbly whilst the mixture of firm and light textures provides a luxurious tasting experience thats just so incredibly moreish. I would whole heartidly recommend these to anyone...especially fans of dark chocolate, coffee or truffles.

Coffee chocolate is not one of my favourites, but I just adore Lindt Lindor truffles. As long as I didn't find the coffee flavour too strong, I think I would like these.
Gemma Hmm if you dont like coffee these probably arent for you..I wouldnt worry though theres so many other lindor flavours to keep you occupied! I still have to review the mint, orange, raspberry, dark and hazelnut flavours!! Its such a good range they just eminate quality.
Thanks for reading
Jim :D
I have had these they were lush :P
Sounds fantastic. The liquidy centers of Lindt Truffles are excellent. Coffee seems like a great match to Lindt Dark chocolate. It's always nice when theory meets with practice. I'll be looking out for these. Thanks for the review!
James nice to see you agree with the review ;)
Justin Dark chocolate and coffee is such a classic mix...its especially tasty like in this instance when both the elements are done so well. The coffee centre you could literally taste the coffee beans...the dark chocolate..well what do I have to say!? It was typical divine Lindt stuff...simply awesome. Let me know if you track some of these down.
Cheers for your input guys appreciated as ever
Jim
These look fantastic. YUM! Wonder if I can get them in the States?!
Those sound great!
I don't think I have seen them 'round these parts. Going to have to be on the lookout.
Patti Hi there! Ive done some research for you and e-mailed Lindt so I will get back to you on that. I did have a quick look at their website here http://www.lindt.com/1610/3429/3497/3503/3504.asp and it dosent show the coffee flavour...but does have some more intriguing ones like the cinnamon and coriander spice...also an italian flavour that it dosent go into detail on! Maybe you could try these out for us and post them on your site! I for one would love to hear about them. Thanks for the comment :D
GiGi As I said to Patti above it dosent look as if these have reached US shores unfortunately! Mark one up for the UK haha this seems to be the only instance where we actually seem to have a product and you dont :P
I will try out the rest of the range mint, orange, raspberry, dark and hazelnut flavours and get back to you on the best ones...Ive tried peanut butter, milk and white already they are on the site.
I got an e-mail back from see's btw and they said they dont normally ship abroad :( DOH!
Thanks for the comments :D :D
Jim
hi!! I've tasted the dark and the hazelnut ones... they are simply amazing!! Really something to look forward to:D
Lindt-chocolates are really tasty stuff!
Benedicte Great to hear from you again - thanks for continuing to read. Great to know that some of the rest of the range come recommended. Im currently rationing myself to only one from the Lindor range a week...I just absolutely love them and want to make the experience of the range last. Currently winning the Lindor range competition is a tie between the Coffee & Original Milk ones with scores of 8.5 (just a shade off the top 5!!) I cant waite to try the rest of them out see how the compare.
Thanks for your input again Benedicte! I always enjoy the input!
Jim :D
There is apparently a Cinnamon flavoured truffle (according to Wikipedia)!
anon I have never seen them before but I will keep my eyes peeled!
I still have the Dark chocolate and Raspberry flavours to review as well...lol just a matter of finding the time at the moment!!
Thanks for info! Please leave your name next time would be great to know who I'm talking too lol!
Jim :D
I'd love to try these but have never seen them in my local Whittards (Manchester). Are they still available anywhere in the UK?
