A long way from home…

The common jujube has come a long way from its flavour roots. Gone are the days of rose, lilac and spearmint. Cherry, orange, lemon, lime and licorice rule the jube now and we couldn’t be happier about one of the more recent additions to our gourmet candy selection: chocolate covered jujubes! No, you don’t need to adjust your screen – that’s right! Luscious milk chocolate has given soft, fresh jujubes a hug and landed in one of our glass jars.

We already knew we enjoyed the chocolate covered gummi bears and it was expected we’d likely enjoy the chocolate covered jujube, but it wasn’t until we opened the package and took that first exploratory bite that we really feel hard for these little bundles of yum. Half a dozen morsels later and we knew we were hooked – so hooked that it became a challenge: are all the jujube flavours represented? (see what we put ourselves through for you, our lovely blog readers and guests?) Conclusion: yes! Even licorice, which, honestly, tastes fantastic, is included in the mix. We’ve come to really enjoy the moment right after popping a chocolate covered jujube in our mouth where we pause and work out exactly which flavour was hiding inside the chocolate jacket.

Even though we’re no where near National Chocolate Covered Anything Day, we highly recommend having a Chocolate Covered Jujube Day – you won’t be sorry!
