CHOC-TOPPED

Adult Toffee Pop

This salted caramel tart from Fendalton’s local haunt, Bakermans, is reminiscent of a toffee pop, but grown up. Crisp milk chocolate encases a salted caramel interior. The biscuit base has hints of coffee, offsetting an intense sweetness. It’s a naughty little treat to go alongside a freshly baked pie.

Artful

An award-winner, no less. The chocolate mousse from Patisserie Yahagi – touted to be New Zealand’s first Japanese patisserie – is a light and delicate mousse cake encased a chocolate glaze and topped with choc crisps. It offers a delicate balance of textures and is just the right amount of sweet. You’ll find Yahagi in Peerswick Mall, Upper Riccarton.

It does turn out that Biscoff can go with anything. For those not in the know, this speculoos-style biscuit comes in both cookie and spread form. Both of which were marbled throughout this brownie from Bryndwr’s Delishimoes. Biscoff walks this line between sweet and savoury, and it is perfectly matched with a cakey brownie.
