SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT ALCOHOL FILLED CHOCOLATES

During the 18th century, there was a popular candy among the French known as Griotte. It was made by coating kirsch soaked cherry with chocolate. This is perhaps what influenced the Swiss to experiment until they landed their first alcohol infused chocolate around 1930. These were typically hard chocolate shells enclosing an alcohol-infused sugary crust. Later, on Austria came up with the non-shelled versions around 1950. Since then, these decadents have picked up in popularity in the US with the law as their only limitation. Alcohol filled chocolate is part of Europe’s valued tradition and is synonymous to the Christmas holiday.

These boozy sweets are today an excellent holiday treat for all, only don’t go flaunting them around 21-year olds. Some states have strict laws on the sale of such confections to the younger generation. Here are 7 very interesting points about alcohol infused chocolates.

  • Alcohol filled chocolate won’t get you high on alcohol before you are high on calories.
  • The alcohol filling in chocolates isn't pure alcohol, rather its alcohol sugar crystals.
