Italy's iconic Baci chocolates are now available covered in ruby-tinted cocoa. Their star-studded sparkly silver wrappings have been a mainstay at Italian restaurants across the peninsula since 1922. They are an essential Valentine's Day gift and a safe offering at any wedding, dinner party or special event.
The hazelnut and gianduia-filled chocolates already came in three varieties: milk, white and dark chocolate coatings. Now Perugina have launched a ruby-coated limited edition. "Artificial flavours are not added and the pink colour is the result of special processing," reads a statement by Perugina, a chocolate company based in Perugia, Umbria.
