Chocolate Olivers ressurectedMonday 4 Dec 2006 Reporter: Nicey |
| | Tis the season to merry, except for the last several years if you are were one of the people fruitlessly searching for Chocolate Bath Olivers. Well cheer up because good to their word, Huntley and Palmers have finally managed to resurrect them. Witness, a tin of the sought after treats purchased this very day from Waitrose.
According to the tin Chocolate Olivers are a trade mark of Allied Domecq, and made under licence by Huntley and Palmers. Allied Domecq are perhaps better known for brands such as Beefeater Gin, Harveys Bristol Cream, Tia Maria, Malibu and Cockburns Port. No doubt they have been hanging on to this little seasonal item.
The patented recipe which dates back to the 1930's produces an extremely indulgent and rich dark chocolate biscuit. The slender 200g tin contains 14 biscuits each packing a whopping 70% dark chocolate and retails in Waitrose at £4.99. One for the connoisseur we think. |
