What What What!?! Marmite Chocolate Shortbread?!?
That’s right.
For Easter this year I bought the boy a Marmite Chocolate Easter Egg because I thought he would like it (this was based on his favourite breakfast which is Marmite on toast cut into soldiers which he dips into a hot chocolate).
This was his verdict on the Easter Egg.
The first taste is chocolate, which is nice. The second taste in marmite, which is nice. The third taste is a weird after taste, that is not nice.
Like me, the boy hates wasting food. So he begged me to come up with something to incorporate the leftover egg.
I figured because marmite goes well on buttery toast, then it would go well in all butter shortbread?
The taste is, unusual, but not unpleasant. It is a lot nicer then the chocolate on its own.
It is sort of like a savoury scone, with just a tiny hint of sweetness. But you still get the creamy melted chocolate.
So if you happen to have marmite chocolate about the house give these a try.
