These 'Zesty Caramel Bombes' from Montezuma's feature bold explorations of citrus fruit, caramel and chocolate flavors. While the treats may look like just balls of white, milk and dark chocolate from the outside, the 'Breeze' 'Flurry' and 'Pulse' varieties embrace exotic flavor combinations with mango, lime and orange oil. The caramel-filled chocolate balls are packaged in sets of 14 in charming gift-ready boxes.
As well as adding complex tastes that can sometimes be sweet, sour and even tangy, citrus flavors have come into popularity in a number of snack and confectionery products, mainly because consumers perceive them as healthier than other indulgent options. At the same time, many consumers are hoping to find caramel and chocolate pairings that feature more sophisticated additions than sea salt.
