This confection is a classic combination of fruit and chocolate, with a specific preparation. It typically consists of:
Center: A piece of kiwi fruit that has been candied. This process removes most of the moisture, giving the fruit a soft, chewy, and intensely sweet-tart texture and flavor.
Coating: The candied kiwi piece is fully enrobed in a thin layer of chocolate, dark chocolate.
The taste is a direct contrast of sweet and tart. You first taste the smooth, rich chocolate, which quickly gives way to the uniquely tangy, sweet, and chewy kiwi center. The texture is a mix of a firm chocolate shell and a gummy, fruit-like interior.
It’s a popular choice for those who enjoy fruit-chocolate combinations but prefer a more intense, candy-like fruit flavor instead of a juicy fresh one.
