If there’s one thing Ken and I have in common, it’s our deep love for chocolates. We’re more into dark chocolate, he likes milk chocolate more than I do and I think we have the same amount of liking for white chocolate. So when a common friend offered to let us taste the chocolates he makes, how can chocolate lovers refuse? Let us introduce you toΓΒ CMBV Confectionaires Co.
CMBV Confectionaires is a chocolate shop owned by 2 friends – Christian, the general manager, and Marvin, the head chocolatier. They’re a fairly new business which started in November 2012 out of their passion for chocolates, skills in chocolate-making and business savvy. Fast forward to 2013, you can now find CMBV Confectionaires’ hand-crafted gourmet chocolates at Manila Polo Club (Manila’s Best), VASK Modern Tapas & Gastronomic Cuisine Restaurant and soon at KYO Patisserie (the last 2 are located at BGC). They also have a shop at Fort Bonifacio. You can find their complete address and contact info near the bottom of this post. π
Now, going back to their chocolates, we got to meet Marvin and Chris about a week ago and we chatted a little bit about their business. When we opened the box of chocolates they brought in, Ken and I were immediately amazed by the design of each piece. They’re too gorgeous to look at that one might not be able to bear eating them… well, at least for the first 5 minutes or so ’cause you’d want to take photos first. π
As the saying goes, “Life is a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re gonna get.” Well, with this guide, you’ll know exactly what you’re eating. If you love the mystery of enjoying chocolates, then you can just tuck this away and see how many flavors you could guess. π
While I was reading the descriptions of the flavors of each piece, we couldn’t help but ask Chris and Marvin how they came up with the unique combinations. They said they just think about what they know would taste good together, and they experiment with other ingredients that they could add that they feel should work too. I think it’s a lot of fun, don’t you agree?! π
Oh, by the way, they brought us a bar of their Roasted White Chocolate with sea salt and pink peppercorns. And, OH MY GOSH!! It’s to die for!! π While I was taking photos, Ken couldn’t even wait and took a big bite off the other piece I left on the table. π
It was love at first bite! I usually would stay away from white chocolate, but this roasted white chocolate bar tasted slightly like caramel… no, toffee! You’ll see actual pieces of pink peppercorns infused in the chocolate bar. These pink peppercorns add a subtle peppery bite with a hint of fruity notes. The sea salt lends another layer of flavor and you get a wondrous burst of all sorts of tastes. Can you imagine how spicy, sweet and salty this chocolate bar now?! I can finish off one bar in a snap of my finger. π
After that experience, imagine how excited I was to finally taste the chocolates in the boxes they gave us. π
While I was reading the descriptions of each piece of chocolate, I was reminded of this addictive game I used to play – Chocolatier. I remember the gameplay included creating my own flavors by combining different ingredients from various places across the globe. I super enjoyed that game, so I was definitely looking forward to trying each piece of chocolate they gave us to review.
I decided to follow the guide and taste each one individually. I had glasses of water ready so I can really savor each piece, but I ended up giving my tastebuds a rest by the middle part of my tasting. If you’re planning on eating all these chocolates in one sitting, read on so you’ll have an idea which one you should taste last.
By the way, it was pretty evident that CMBV Confectionaires uses couverture chocolates and high quality ingredients. The chocolates don’t melt in your hands, but in your mouth. π The artistry of each piece is simply amazing, especially after you learn about the thought process behind the designs.
Without further ado, here are the flavors that we got to sample. And please, pardon the bite marks. π
Minted Calamansi
Mint fondant with a dark chocolate calamansi ganache coated with milk chocolate.
I know, dark chocolate is known to pair well with mint or anything citrusy, and combining them all together in one piece of chocolate, let alone a combination of dark and milk chocolates, may be too much that you won’t taste each flavor separately. But, it was quite lovely. π
Salt & Pepper Caramel
Pink peppercorns and Himalayan salted caramel in a white chocolate shell.
Pink peppercorns, by the way, are more related to berries than pepper. However, they do have this peppery bite that’s a little fruity.
We were told this flavor is their bestseller, and we were not disappointed. I was actually surprised when the salted caramel (which is becoming more and more popular now) oozed out of the chocolate when I bit into it. The coat easily crumbled and let out the lusciously gooey caramel inside. This isn’t too cloying and the pink peppercorns added an interesting layer of flavor.
I was supposed to only eat half of each piece for the tasting and for this review, but I couldn’t resist gobbling up the first 2. π
By the way, the scribble designs on the sides of this chocolate were hand-painted individually by Marvin. Cool, eh? π
Binondo
Red tea with a blend of three Chinese spices filled into a milk chocolate shell.
I was curious about the name, and I was told it’s because it’s a mix of Chinese spices and the red tea. For me, though, it had this lovely earthy flavor to it that reminded me of Indian flavors. Ken agreed and he said he would’ve called this Mumbai instead. π This was one of the mouth-watering flavors among the dozen ones I got to try.
Santol
A deconstructed santol membrillo in a dark chocolate shell.
Inside the intricately designed dark chocolate shell, you’ll find the santol membrillo or marmalade. Ken instantly gushed about this flavor upon his first bite. It had this pleasing, lip-smacking sourness that he loved – asim-kilig daw. π The sourness contrasts pretty nicely with the dark chocolate.
Brazilian Coffee
Roasted Brazilian coffee beans in a Peruvian dark chocolate shell with an espresso ganache.
Okay, first, I should’ve eaten this last. This had a very strong flavor compared to the rest of the chocolates, so I HIGHLY recommend you finish off your tasting with this one.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED this. There’s a roasted Brazilian coffee bean inside. It was delightfully bitter, and the espresso ganache was smooth and stimulating. I actually wanted more that I almost was enticed to eat Ken’s piece. π
By the way, the concept on the design of this chocolate was amusing. Marvin told me he was inspired by the red coffee stirrer, which resulted to the red paint on the middle of the chocolate. You’d be surprised by what inspires them on their designs and flavors. Chocolatiers are artists and I’m truly awed by the craftsmanship behind their chocolates. π
Anise & Orange
Star anise and orange dark chocolate ganache in a dark chocolate shell.
Dark chocolate plus orange is a wonderful flavor combination on its own, but adding star anise took it up a notch. The anise flavor was strong, but not enough to turn anyone off. It was a nice play of flavors that really worked. π
Gingered Cerveza Negra
Dark chocolate cup filled with a milk chocolate Cerveza Negra ganache with a hint of ginger, topped with roasted walnuts.
First off, Marvin told me that the chocolates infused with alcohol were designed into cups, like drinking spirits (e.g., tequila, vodka, rum, gin, etc) in shot glasses. Cool, eh? I love how he came up with the designs that make you go, “Ohhhh I get it!!” π
This had the pleasing bitterness of Cerveza Negra. Don’t worry, it’s nothing overwhelming. It was well-balanced with the milk chocolate and the dark chocolate. I sensed the ginger as an aftertaste and Ken said he can taste it when he draws air into his mouth, just like you would when drinking wine. π The roasted walnuts lent a crunchy texture and flavor that I enjoyed too (if you’ve been reading my posts before, I’m not a big fan of anything with nuts in it).
Sencha Green Tea
Sencha Japanese green tea white chocolate ganache in a white chocolate shell.
Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan, and being a fan of green tea, I knew, without a doubt, that I would absolutely love this. And I did!! The ganache was rich and creamy, with a mild bitterness and sweetness brought about by the green tea. This was easily a favorite! π
Marvin also told me about the design concept behind this chocolate. He wanted to make it look like branches of a Cherry Blossom (Sakura), which is probably the most well-known tree in Japan. And, again, each Sencha Green Tea chocolate is hand-painted by him. All I can say is, “Marvin, IKAW NAAA!!” π
Kaffir Lime & Coconut
A Belgian white chocolate shell filled with kaffir lime and coconut cream.
This is a delish twist to the classic combo of coconut and lime. The kaffir lime imparts a mellow tartness and zingy flavor to this rich and creamy chocolate concoction. Yum! π
Chamomile & Juniper Berry
Chamomile dark chocolate ganache with juniper berries in a dark chocolate shell.
There’s this flavor from this chocolate that reminded us of the freshly harvested organic honey we tasted from Bohol Bee Farm (argh… we haven’t blogged about it yet and it’s been a year na! :D). Weird, I know, but both Ken and I tasted it.
Typically, I would stay away from chamomile because of its floral aroma, but I wanted to find out how I’d like this combination. Thankfully, the mildly sharp, citrusy and tart flavor of the juniper berries tamed the flowery taste of chamomile.
Gumamela
Hibiscus sabdariffa white chocolate ganache in a Peruvian dark chocolate shell.
Of all the flavors of these boxed chocolates, I wasn’t looking forward to this. π I HATE flowery anything… uhm, hate is a strong word, but I avoid food that smells and tastes (or even sounds :D) like flowers. However, I was surprised that I actually liked this for its subtle tangy taste and sweetness. Oh, I like the purple color of the ganache too! π
Gin Pomelo
Pomelo white chocolate ganache with gin in a white chocolate cup.
When I saw the name of this chocolate, it reminded me of the good ol’ days when my barkada would hang out at our house and drink various cocktails we could think of. Gin Pomelo was one of our favorites, and it’s a popular mix for Pinoys. This is why I was intrigued by this flavor. Chris told us that they thought, since we enjoy drinking Gin Pomelo, a chocolate infused with this flavor combination would also appeal to us. Well, did we like it?
Yes! They used Gin Bilog for this, by the way, and you can really taste it. It had this mild kick from the gin, and fruity sweetness from the pomelo. The white chocolate brought them all together. It did leave this sensation on my taste buds that I couldn’t shake off for a few minutes. Then I remembered – that’s exactly what I get from drinking a shot of Gin Pomelo. π I’m more of a wine drinker now kasi so I forgot.
Whew! That’s it! 12 flavors of boxed chocolates from CMBV Confectionaires. I enjoyed each piece as I try to distinctly taste all the ingredients mixed into each chocolate concoction. π
Sure, you might not be too giddy about all the flavor combinations, but let me tell you something (and this is from me and Ken): at the end of the tasting, it felt like all the ingredients and flavors were meant to be together. Props to Chris and Marvin for their creativity. π
We’re sure you’ll fall in love with these chocolates the same way we did. These chocolates are PERFECT for gifts and even as a party favor! If you’re wondering how you can get your hands on these lovely chocolates, here’s how:

ΓΒ
#1: Salt and pepper caramel. I have a thing for salted caramel, so that flavor caught my eye.
#2: Since I’m currently crazy about cookie butter, a chocolate that’s filled with that could be really yummy.
#1 Orange & Anise. I’ve always like the combination of orange and chocolate and this one has a twist. it has anise in it and that makes it intriguing. Also i love the design, it’s so unique!
#2 maybe an orange vanilla dark chocolate, or another of my favorite combination, the peanut butter and chocolate. or coconut, mint dark chocolate? For the design, maybe make it look like jewels. like you’re eating from a treasure chest full of jewels. I love the designs btw, it’s unique and it has this old antique feel to it especially the santol and the juniper. Babylonian or Mesopotamian theme. π
1.i would love to taste the gumamela and sencha green tea,looks yummy
2.nuts and strawberry,loves the color combination and the taste of nuts and strawberry
1. i would love to taste gin pomelo and gumamela the name makes me curious about the taste π sounds interesting
2. i want to create combination of white chocolate + cheese + bluberry + vanilla and the shape would be heart π
#1: Which flavor/s are you looking forward to tasting and why?
I am very excited to try Binondo! Binondo, the place, is synonymous to fusion of different culture and tradition and a haven to people who seeks adventure lalo na sa pagkain. Binondo is truly a box of chocolates na hindi mo alam kung ano ang makikita at matitikman mo pag dating mo doon especially if you are a first time tourist. Ngayon pa lang nag-iisip na ako kung ano ba ang lasa ng Binondo of CMBV. Lasang siopao kaya
o lasang siomai na paborito kong dayuhin at kainin sa Binondo?
#2: If you could come up with your own chocolate flavor combination (and
even design), what would it be?
I will make a round-shaped chocolate designed exactly like the earth. Its flavor is a combination of strawberry, carabao mango and durian Γ’β¬β the 3 fruits which represent Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. This is my tribute to Miss Megan Young for winning the Miss World crown. IΓ’β¬β’ll call it Megan!
1. I would love to taste the sencha green and gin pomelo because its looks delicious π
2. i want to create combination of dark chocolate + MY FAVORITES fruits grapes!
1. I would love to taste all of it.. haha I’m a chocolate lover! I eat all that is chocolates.! π
2. Hmmm maybe i will combine lemon and chocolate. The aroma of lemon and the taste of chococale and lemon,,, It will be so good.. π
1. I would love to try all of the flavors since they all look so delish, but if I were to choose only one then it would definitely be Sencha Green tea since I love Green tea..from milk tea to chocolates..Green tea is the best for me!!! π
2. I would like to experiment on Mint Chocolates, and Green tea since they are my favorite! π
#1: Gin pomelo! π because I love pomelo, haha I haven’t tried it with chocolate
#2:I’d experiment on combining dark choco and mango. π The design would be in mango-shape!
#1: I would love to try all these flavors! :))
#2: Black choco and peppermint or Brazillian coffee with bliss of milk like that! π The design would be like like cups..

#2: If you could come up with your own chocolate flavor combination (and even design), what would it be? i would rather like to make a carrot & celery flavor combination,the design is a simple as round so maiba naman a healthy chocolate..
I Like to try the Sencha Green tea look healthy.
If I were to create my own like to add the red beans since it’s so versatile that not only was it added to pastries but now also in milk tea. Maybe shape it into a kidney beans
#1 I would like to try their Gumamela flavor. First, because it reminds me of my childhood (Ive’d always used these flowers in portraying a food i am preparing for our “bahay-bahayan and luto-lutuan”. Secondly, I love dark chocolates. I don’t know how a peruvian dark chocolate tastes like. I presume that every bite of these chocolate artwork is an awesome experience, and will be a DEJAVU to me that I was brought back to my early years. I am seeing myself as one of the characters in RATATOUILLE (remember Anton Ego eating his childhood fave ratatouille dish prepared by his mom?) That’s it!
#2 If i were to make a new flavor, I would name it CMBVCC which stands for:
C-aramel
M-achiatto
B-everage infused in a
V-elvety
C-lassic Dark
C-hocolate Truffles ^_^
That’s a challenging flavor twist presented on a piece of heavenly goodness π
(I was thinking if I can portray it on a small cup of chocolate or in a truffle-like image) :p
I would like to try all the flavors. Lahat kasi bago sa paningin at pandinig ko at siguradong bago din sa panlasa ko. I want to try the gumamela flavor kung ano ba talagang lasa nun if naging chocolate. lalo na ung salted caramel. I’m a big fan of caramel food mapa ice cream, cake or candy pa yan lalo na chocolate papatulan ko talaga kaya gusto ko matry. :)) Kung gagawa naman ako ng bagong flavor ng chocolate ng CMBVCC siguro lansones flavor chocolate. I love the way lansones taste yung matamis na minsan bitter. π mukang interesting pag naging chocolate ^^ yung design sempre dapat mukang lansones hhe
#1: Which flavor/s are you looking forward to tasting and why?
– I never tried any of those so I wanna taste all the flavors!
#2: If you could come up with your own chocolate flavor combination (and even design), what would it be?
– It’ll be a caramelized chocolate with cheese. It’ll be perfect with milk tea, coffee or any beverage! π
1. I am curious and that is why I would like to taste them all as they are all so yummy ..
2. It will be a peppermint, dark chocolate with a bit of wine taste plus some nuts …
1. I haven’t tried those but looking forward to taste looks so sweet and yummy
2. I would like a nachos and chocolate with ube flavor because I really love chocolates with nuts on it.
I’d love to try the Sencha Green Tea and the Salt and Pepper Caramel
If I would create my own, I would like to try chocolate+ caramel+ mint and maybe a star shape hehe
chocolates with almond, chocolates with milk and chocolate with caramel sounds familiar. but chocolates and santol!? This definetly stroked my curiosity! i love santol and chocolates separately but would it be possible to combine the two? Maybe! Why not!?
This has been proven by CMBV Confectionaires Handmade Gourmet Chocolate! I would love to taste this Filipino inspired chocolate. A product that should be represent all of us. CMBV keep it up! Good work!
if i would create my own chocolate, it would be a banana coated with a chocolate that has been blended with butter and condensed milk. Just thinking about it make me lick my lips! Yum!!
Answer the following questions:
#1: Which flavor/s are you looking forward to tasting and why? Kaffir Lime and Coconut because I really want to know what it taste like and I’m very excited to share it with my friends π
#2: If you could come up with your own chocolate flavor combination (and even design), what would it be?
If I would create my own chocolate, i would mix almond, cashew and mocha with gumamela flowers and it will turn to dark red combination of chocolate. I will also mix it with edible flowers :))

because I failed to comment last night, hooray for working disqus!!
Here are my answers:
#1. The flavors that i would love to try are all of them, but the flavors that I know I would love to have the most would be the Salt and Pepper Caramel and Sencha Green Tea. Why? Because aside from having a sweet tooth, IΓ’β¬β’m into flavors that I know will make a Γ’β¬ΛBANGΓ’β¬β’ in my mouth. The idea of peppercorn with salted caramel inside a white chocolate just makes me drool, and I really like flavors that contrast when you hear them yet blend well when you taste them. As for Sencha Green Tea, IΓ’β¬β’m an avid green tea lover, especially the Macha one. Anything that has green tea and with chocolate on them, IΓ’β¬β’d love them and IΓ’β¬β’d eat them. I also like how he hand-painted them and incorporated the sakura tree in the chocolate as well, makes it even more delightful to nomnom them.
#2. If I would come up with my own chocolate, I would incorporate the two of my most favourite food in the world, Nutella and Bacon! A nutella ganache with bits of bacon as the surprise center of the chocolate, and then I would coat it first with salted toffee. The final coat would be white chocolate infused with the essence of rose and vanilla and then sprinkle the half part the chocolate with a little bit of cacao dust. The bitterness of cacao will reduce the sweetness of the whole chocolate. The design would be simple, I would only like my chocolate to be contained on a cushion and silk like it is a jewelry. ItΓ’β¬β’s name would be something unforgettable such as Γ’β¬Εthe BaconellaΓ’β¬Β!
(Γ£ΒΒ₯ｑÒββ’Γ’β¬ΒΏΓ’β¬ΒΏΓ’ββ’Γ―Β½Β‘)Γ£ΒΒ₯
*answering just makes me drool for chocolates. >.<
1.Gin pomelo because I’m an alcoholic.
2.I would mix mint and vodka.
#1: Salt and Pepper Caramel. I think the taste is not new for me since I love caramel but I might be wrong whenever I got a taste of this. It looks very simple yet sophisticated. The caramel inside is very tempting. :p~
#2: Hmmm. ‘Soya and cream cheese’ flavor. I’m not really sure if it exists already but I just combined my favorites: cheesecake and soya (drink). It may be looked the same with a white chocolate though, which is my favorite also. :3 A bit weird but aahhh heaven for me! For the design, clean white lang yung color pero may edible gold on top. Mehehe. So delicate!
Strawberry Flavor!..My Fave ..
#1: Which flavor/s are you looking forward to tasting and why?
Answer: Im looking forward to taste the Sencha Green Tea Because I Love Tea and i love the taste of bitterness and sweetness of a Green Tea.
#2: If you could come up with your own chocolate flavor combination (and even design), what would it be?
Answer: I will make a Carrot and Banana Chocolate Flavor and the Design is Heart Shape because it means that my chocolate is Healthy and Heart Friendly.
No.1 Salt and Pepper Caramel! When i read the word “best seller” i already made up my mind to try this one first. Always go for the best whenever trying out new things/food
No.2 A “Moon shaped White chocolate” (either full or half) with small bits of hazel nuts and blueberry fillings inside. Surprises never ends! π
#1: Which flavor/s are you looking forward to tasting and why?binondo coz its more exciting to taste hehe
#2: If you could come up with your own chocolate flavor combination (and even design), what would it be? yema choco with yema inside and chocolate outside
#1: Which flavor/s are you looking forward to tasting and why? Anis and Orange
#2: If you could come up with your own chocolate flavor combination (and even design), what would it be? Lemon tea
1. I would definitely love to try all the flavors, being the chocoholic that I am. π As Deanna Troi said, “I’ve never met a chocolate I didn’t like.” Although, I have to admit, there are some chocolates that you would just love more compared to the others. I guess I wouldn’t know which ones for sure, unless I try them all, right? Forrest Gump’s momma did assert that “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
2. Since Halloween is coming soon, I think chocolates inspired by this popular frightening fest should be in order. Milk chocolate shaped into jack-o-lanterns and a pumpkin ganache center with hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It’s the right combination of sweet and spice (and everything nice). It may be a bit childish, but I’m sure even adults would enjoy this Halloween-themed chocolate.
Now, something more for the adults. Chocolates and coffee are two of the things I love so much, so I think it would be perfect to combine these in one decadent chocolate. It would be dark chocolate shaped into a coffee cup, swirled at the top with white chocolate in a latte art design. And of course, a coffee bean surprise at the center, previously dipped in a mixture of milk chocolate and espresso. Both designs I have in mind are so literal, I know, but I think they are just so cute. π
#1: Which flavor/s are you looking forward to tasting and why?
i would like to try the Anise and orange ’cause i’m a fan of dark chocolate.

Bicol Express
Dark chocolate shell (65% or higher) filled with Chili infused coconut cream.

#1. I’m looking forward to tasting the Gumamela flavor. I’m just too intrigued by its name how it tastes. It’s not everyday that you’ll get the chance to taste something like that.
#2. If I would be given a chance to make my own chocolate recipe, I’d like to use strawberry jam for the filling and 85% dark chocolate. This is simply decadent for me since strawberry is my most favorite fruit and dark chocolates are the best confection ever invented.
#1: Which flavor/s are you looking forward to tasting and why? Sencha Green tEa because I”m a fan of green tea too!
#2: If you could come up with your own chocolate flavor combination (and even design), what would it be? A cheesecake and chocolate flavor combination because I really love cheescakes!
#1: Which flavor/s are you looking forward to tasting and why?
Salt & pepper caramel. Looks so yummy and i think its perfect combination for chocolates π
#2: If you could come up with your own chocolate flavor combination (and even design), what would it be?

I would love to try the combination of chocolate and strawberry flavor! π
I want a flower design chocolate with a flavor of caramel and mango! Look soooooooo yummylicious
#1: I love to taste the Salt & Pepper Caramel chocolate. All the flavours of this chocolates are intriguing.. but the i think the salt & pepper will give a balance to the sweetness of the caramel & chocolate that will urge you to crave or eat more.
#2: I love chocolates but since i cannot have plenty of these.. i think i would come up of my chocolate… a high percentage of dark cocoa chocolate with chopped almond and raisins. Dark chocolates are our heart and brain.. it’s also help to control our blood sugar plus it has full f antioxidants, theobromine(to harden tooth enamel)and has high in vitamins & minerals. The raisin is to give sweetness to the chocolates plus it has also lots of healthy benefits like almonds! and i will shape it like a heart since it is good for the heart<3
i’m a chocolate lover,, wanted to try every flavors most specialy the gumamela..hmm…very interesting flavor <3 <3 <3
1. I’d love to try Gumamela. I’m curious what would be the taste. “:)

1. Brazillian Coffee π
2. Mint Chocolate. π
1. Sencha Green Tea. Reminds me of my short visit in Japan. AAAAND I LOVE GREEN TEA! I don’t know why some people hate green tea. I think this piece can make people appreciate green tea more. π
2. Dark chocolate with mango and wine. Bittersweet and sexy. :))
I want to try Gin Pomelo because I love both Pomelo and chocolates, it was in never in my wildest dreams that they can be combined. For the GIN part, that’s good to try for a little kick but they say alcohol is best consumed with sweets — so i guess it is going to be a perfect combination.
If I make my own combination, i will go for with Durian and chocolate. It is truly an Asian treat from Davao, Philippines and Malaysia and I know Milk Chocolate is so yummy and Durian is so creamy so It’s just going to be perfect with the distinct taste and the same yummy creamy choco taste. π
#1: Gingered Cerveza Negra, because i’m a big fan of dark chocolate + there’s a hint of ginger? i’m not a fan of gingers… so i’m really curious as to how it would taste like.
#2: hmm.. since i LOVE cookies and cream, dark chocolate and green tea matcha… a combination of the 3 would be yummy!
1. Sencha Green Tea. I love the exotic taste of it!
2. I would say Dark Banana Choco.
I like the Orange and Anise!
If I would have to create my own piece then I’ll name it Durian Choco!
1. salt and pepper caramel because i like salty and peppery after taste!
2. Since I am a dark handsome guy I will say dark choco with big banana!
#1 – Honestly, I want to taste them all but since I need to choice among them, I will pick Gin Pomelo, Minted Calamansi, and Binondo
#2 – Chocolate Cheesecake and the design would be heart.
1. I would like to taste the Gin Pomelo because it is really interesting.
2. I will try to combine Yakult and chocolate and see how it taste like.
I want to try the Sencha Green Tea because it seems healthy
If I can come up with a chocolate flavoured combination that would be something like vanilla gulaman and creamy chocolate bits
1. Maybe, Gin Pomelo. I’ve tried different mixes of Gin and I want to this one.
2. I love pigs, apples and dark chocolates. Maybe, a pig-shaped dark chocolate with apple bites inside. haha
With the way you described each chocolate, it’s very hard to just choose one. I want to try them all because each one is interesting. Anyway, if I really have to choose, I’d say the Anise and Orange. I’m curious how that would taste like.
If I were to make a new flavor, I’d say bacon bits and chocolate. Or fruitcake truffle.
1. I would love to taste all of them.. haha.. just want to compare the taste of each one of them.
2. Uhhmmm I would be chocolate almond with caramel and cookies… Heart shape… I think that would be taste something unique
1. Honestly speaking, I want to try them all. They all looks so yummy. And I’m a chocoholic, but in able to answer the first question I would like to try Gin Pomelo, I’m curious on how it taste like.
2. I would like to try mixing chocolate & papaya. I think this would be a great combination mixing sweets with fruits that are known for whitening the skin. This would be very healthy.
orange & anise Cookie butter
1) To be honest, I would really want to taste them all. They all look enticing and full of taste adventures.
2) I always wanted to make a heart shaped strawberry filled white chocolate.
#1,i would love to taste them all its look yummy!!
#2,i love peppermint chocolate with almonds.it would be mint almonds nuts taste good,ung feeling na may konting fresh lamig sa bibig sarap…
1. i would like to try the anise and orange because i love orange and i want to know the taste of anise .
2 if i could create a chocolate flavor it would be a cookies and cream with mallows and strawberry syrup and i would design it with fun and cute stuff like my personality.
1. I would like to taste them all because they look all yummy
2. maybe i would like strawberry and chocolate.
1. I am really interested to taste the Gingered Cerveza Negra, because I’m curious of what would the mixture of chocolate & alcohol and also because I love roasted walnuts, and the Kaffir Lime and Coconut because it sounds good, i wonder if it really tastes good as well π
2. Well, I would love to try mixing dark chocolate and Guimaras’ mangoes (I love them both!) and I will make shape it as Yin Yang (because of the contrast of their colors).
1. I’d really love to try Gumamela and Chamomile and Juniper Berry just because they’re very unusual flavors! And of course Sencha Green Tea because I absolutely love green tea!
2. If I were to make a new kind of chocolate, I’d make a chocolate with peanut butter filling! Peanut butter’s the best!!!
gin pomelo and sencha green tea would be lovely to taste :3
hmmmm, if i were to make my own chocolate, i’d like hearts with flower embellishments haha. dark chocolate with avocado would be nice. yum!
#1 i’d like to try the Gumamela kasi nilalagay ko lang yan sa sabon para makagawa ng malaking balloon pwede palang flavor sa chocolate.
#2 for my own creation..i will mixed all the flavors from cmbv together in one chocolate
i’m curious to try gumamela.
i’d create sour spicy chocolate because the contrasting tastes would make it interesting
I’d be curious to try the Santol and how they were able to fuse chocolate and santol and what it tastes like π
Since they were able to fuse santol i a chocolate, I’m thinking maybe Kamias? Extreme sour taste of Kamias and the sweetness of a chocolate…hmm…interesting π
#1 i so loveeeeee salted caramel
#2 i would love to make a yummy choco bonbon with burnt caramel on top π
1.i would love to try the Gingered Cerveza Negra,because i love eating ginger.
2.i will make a alphabet shape chocolates in fruity,vegetable flavor chocolates
I want to try Brazilian Coffee because I like any coffee flavor food. I will try to have a milk tea flavor then shape it to a star! π
1. I am curious to taste the minted calamansi flavor and the gumamela flavored chocolate.
2. I am thinking of a combination of nuts, dark chocolates, oranges or mango.
1.I would love to taste the Santol,so curious about it.
2.I want to create a chili-nutty chocolate with a red chili design on top.
1.)I would love to try the “SANTOL FLAVOR” I always like to eat “asim-kilig” taste as you qoute it. How I wish meron din Sampaloc flavor, hehe…
2.) Obviously Chocolate blended w/ Sampaloc Flavor. Tamis-asim flavor is what I always wanted, contra umay sa tamis kasi may sampaloc. Any shapes woulsd do as long as nice ung presentation para catchy sa mamimili.
1. Sencha Green Tea
2. I would like to combined Sencha Green Tea and Binondo in order to make chinese style chocolate. I think it will be better serve with siopao π
1.Id like to try Orange and Anise.So curious and really interesting!
2.I’ll experiment by combining white choco,macademia and coffee =)
I would love to taste Kaffir Lime and Coconut because of its combination of belgian chocolate with lime and coconut I think that taste would leave me craving for more
Then if I would have to create my own flavor that would be chocolate mango. I love the combination of mangoes acidity, the bitterness of chocolate and also the sweetness of the two.
I’d like to taste the Sencha Green Tea flavor for I love Green Tea. My chocolate flavor combination will be darck chocolate with malunggay and banana. It’ll be shaped like a banana with green circles around it.
#1: I like to taste GUMAMELA. Too Pinoy and sounds organic! I won’t be too guilty eating soooo much. Ahahahaha.
#2: My favorite mix would be strawberry and chocolate. Because I think I like strawberries but can’t eat as much as I want(I worry about tummy ache). But if it’s mix with some dark chocolates, I can stash a bunch in my fridge and have it every minute! Nyam! Nyam!
My first choice is Sencha Green Tea, aside from the combination of white chocolate & green tea, the Sakura design really has an appeal to me. Like, it’s the first chocolate I will get from the box because I want to take a closer look of the design that is specially hand-painted by Marvin, hoping to find Sakura flowers there. Hihi! Then 2nd would be the Gin Pomelo, coz it reminded me the first time I got drunk. Haha! It’s been a long too, so tasting ‘it’ on this genius-ly created chocolate would be a privilege. (naks!)
Since I prefer white chocolate over dark, I would create a combination of white choco, green mango, & Dark choco. I want it to be simple, so it will be just in round shape made in 3 layers. Dark chocolate ganache for the inner/core layer, that would be the filling; then, the middle would be a green mango jam that still has the ‘asim’ factor; and for the outer, white chocolate shell with marble design w/ the color of green mango. Perfect combination that is very Pinoy. ^_^
Minted calamansi. Weird and interesting.
Strawberry would be a nice flavor. It should be in the shape of a 3d strawberry, and red if possible
I would like to try the Anise and Orange , thinking how the flavor are mixed up make me think how tasteful and delicious it is.
If I will try to mixed 2 , it will be banana and chocolate flavor. Hmmm havent taste it yet , wondering how it will look like and whats the taste would be , but I think it will be great!
1. Salt and caramel , Im really curious of the taste,,,
2. Just a combination of white choco and cookie butter would be great.
1. Anise and orange! Liking the combination.
2. Cookies and cream choco + dark choco combination
1. Salt and Pepper caramel. Its my fave!
2. Any choco combination is the best for me!
1. Kaffir lime and coconut. I’m a great fan of Belgian white chocolates and a touch of lime on it would be something intriguing to my tastebuds.
2. If I were to make my own combination, I would like a mix of Chocolate truffles and berries. The chocolate will have the shape of berries and the texture of truffles. The chocolate will have a mixture of blueberries and cream cheese filling inside. π
1. I am not adventurous so the Brazilian Coffee sounds palatable to me.
2. cookie butter is the mainstream, so I guess cookie butter chocolate will be the logical flavor to try out.
1. sencha green tea coz i really wanna try chocolate that has green tea π
2. malunggay chocolate :))
#1: EVERYTHING!!! But if I really have to choose, I think I am really excited to taste the Sencha Green Tea. I used to hate Green Tea and everything that is has its flavor, but after eating this Green Tea Ice Cream from Moshi Moshi, I was so intrigued to which food product would Green Tea also taste good.
#2: I’m curious how you guys would pull off a Mango-Custard covered in white chocolate, or avocado-any-chocolate combo. And yes, I do love mango, custard, and avocado and perfectly combining it with chocolate is just heavenly. The design for the mango-custard can be simple. The white chocolate is designed like a mango (the chocolate can be around 1-2 cm thick), and inside it is the mango-custard. Oooor, a chocolate coated pudding, if that can be possible =)) Anyway, you guys just keep on creating something. I am pretty sure that I will love them all anyway :))
1. I would love to try the Gingered Cerveza Negra. Not only is the presentation appealing and clever, I’m a big fan of Ginger beer so this is one of my dream flavors. I don’t usually like chocolates with nuts either, but I’m pretty sure this can change my mind!
2. If I could create a flavor, I would do grapefruit and basil filling for a refreshing, tart yet grounded taste. I would wrap this in a dark chocolate shell in the shape of a leaf, with a thin vein of edible goldleaf painted down the middle. Luxurious, yes, but hopefully also delicious.
I’d like top try any flavor. My taste buds are not picky. hehe..
If I’m going to come up with any chocolate combination, well I always love melon and vanilla, so most probably that would become a hit if it became a chocolate flavor.. π
I would love to try the Brazilian Coffee and Salt & Pepper Caramel coz I’m a big fan of coffees and caramels! <3
I would also love to try to combine strawberries with other fruits then blend it with chocolates. π
#1: which flavor am i looking forward to? definitely the gingered cerveza negra! i’ve always been an adventurous girl not only in extreme sports and activities but also in foods! i’ve eaten so many exotic foods and this flavor i think is the most interesting and unique and so out-of-the-box. just reading its name is already intriguing me! i can’t wait to try it and see how i will find it π
#2 if i can come up with a chocolate flavor combination, it’d be something adventurous too like a dark chocolate ganache infused with durian and truffles. i want people to be impressed and surprised how all the flavors unexpectedly came together that made the chocolate delicious π and i also want people who’ve never eaten durian to taste the chocolate and appreciate the fruit’s distinct flavor π
#1: I would like to taste chocolate with tamarind inspiration π
#2: I will come up with yema and chocolate in a cake. :))) Hmmm.. I wish I can made it, Hahahaha
i would like to try their santol,brazilian coffee and gin pomelo. well, i’m basically a coffee lover. about the santol and gin pomelo, i think it’s kinda one of a kind. i really would like to these! maybe durian flavor or guyabano. i’m curious about the taste.
I am looking forward tasting the Santol and Gumamela because these two for me are the most intriguing chocolate flavors.
If I would come up with a chocolate flavor combination, I would love to have bitter gourd and white chocolate because I hate bitter gourd yet I think if it would be a chocolate flavor, I would definitely start liking it. The design would be simple, the chocolate is green, you won’t smell the bitter gourd yet when you tasted it, you will fall in love with the bitter gourd.
