Magnum Peperoncino Praline

That rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Peperoncino Praline. Put an accent on it too, Italian or Spanish, something European. It sounds great, shout it, make hand signals. What a wonderful name.
These hot chilli flavoured pralines come in a little box that has a little tab thing at the top of it, so I assume these are meant to be hung up and are meant as an impulse buy. There’s also a ’3′ on the front of the box, I didn’t know what it meant until I opened the box.
Now what I did expect was a little bag filled with tiny pralines, what I got were three large foil wrapped pralines, quite thin. They’re dark chocolate, and filled with a praline truffle type thing. It’s not nutty at all, the flavour is all chocolate and supposedly hot chilli.
I say supposedly because there’s no heat here. At all. It’s actually kinda sad, I’m so fond of Magnum that I had my hopes up. It’s unfair to say that this was bad, because they actually tasted really nice, the chocolate was a decent quality and the praline flavour came through as well, but there’s just no heat at all. In that aspect it’s quite disappointing, but they’re still really nice. A bit of a mixed bag, I suppose.
