Method

These warming, autumn ganache chocolates are the perfect accompaniment to a pumpkin spice latte on a chilly afternoon. With intense cocoa and sweet, creamy notes, Callebaut's Arriba milk chocolate is a single origin Ecuadorian chocolate made from finest quality Forastero cacao beans. Paired with the sweet warmth of cinnamon and the spicy liquorice flavour of star anise, it's a real treat for the senses.
