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.
