Satin smooth, deliciously creamy, sweet and sensuous – Wicked Chocs epitomizes the way good chocolate should be. Completely confectioned in Singapore, each little piece of heaven not only looks amazing, but tastes spectacular, with a fruity aroma and subtle hint of woodiness. What makes Wicked Chocs stand out from the competition is the variety of unique and somewhat eccentric flavours the pralines come in. Wasabi, sesame, green tea, kaya – all these are just the tip of the iceberg.
Started at the end of 2005, Wicked Chocs aims to produce 100% made in Singapore chocolates using state of the art tempering equipment and ingredients from all over the world. The designs come from Italy and France, the fillings from Belgium, Mexico and Japan, and the nuts from Australia and USA. It is clear a lot of effort goes into the manufacture of these sweet treats.
Among the more popular is the Coco Crown, a delectable dark chocolate praline shaped like a King’s crown with a coconut ganache centre. Complementing each other exquisitely, the chocolate and coconut blend together to create a taste so magnificent and inimitable it will make your tastebuds tingle. The taste of coconut is also not too overwhelming, a mistake oft-made by chocolatiers.
Equally outstanding in terms of aesthetics is Lovers Paradise and Mayflower. A heart-shaped praline so detailed the words “I Love You” are inscribed on it, Lovers Paradise makes a unique and yummy gift for a loved one. The Mayflower, a white chocolate praline that demands attention with its colourful floral design, is not overly sweet but satisfies that chocolate craving nicely.
Nuts about nuts? You will certainly enjoy the crunchy Macachips praline with its macadamia and white chocolate filling. Alternatively, caffeine junkies will take pleasure in the Toraja, consisting of a coffee bean ganache encased within a dark chocolate shell. Beans from Ecuador and Venezuela give this praline a somewhat earthy flavour which is pleasing to the tongue.
