When Chocolate by Genevie contacted me to see if I would like to sample their chocolate who was I to turn down such a thoughtful offer? As you know I absolutely adore posh, handmade chocolates so I was very excited to receive a tasting sample. Better still Genevie has offered to provide a giveaway to my lovely readers so that I can share the chocolate yummyness.
The chocolate flavours I was sent were (from top left going clockwise):
One of the loveliest things about buying from this company is that everything is handmade right down to the box the chocolates are delivered in. All the chocolates are delivered free to the UK.
*****UPDATE *****
I have now found out that these chocolates are not handmade by Genevie but are repackaged from Belgium. Please read this post over at Fuss Free Flavours. The lack of tasting card, allergen information and best before date led Helen to investigate further. Genevie has replied here saying that as a new business they have had some lessons to learn.
All those who have entered the giveaway have been informed.

The chocolate flavours I was sent were (from top left going clockwise):
- Dark chocolate vanilla cream - I love dark chocolate and this was perfect paired with a smooth vanilla filling
- Milk chocolate almond praline - a lovely classic praline chocolate
- White chocolate truffle - definitely my favourite
- Pistachio milk chocolate praline - I really love pistachio flavoured things and this was no exception
- Flavour not listed on website but tasted like nougat - very tasty
- White chocolate hazelnut praline - yummy mix of creamy white chocolate and praline
