This is my second review of the Filthy range, having already reviewed the Filthy Cheeky Chocolate Bites, and quite simply, loving them. These are only available from Sainsbury's, and I had to wait a few weeks before the strawberry version was available, but hurrah, here they are!
As before, I love the packaging of these, unfolding like a big flower to reveal the chocolates within, that have been made with Belgian milk chocolate and fresh cream. To nick the description from the box, these are "Strawberries whipped with lashings of double cream. Restrained in thick, hard Belgian milk chocolate". Now if that isn't suggestive, I certainly don't know what is, but the whole packaging (and the website if you take a peek) is designed to be just that.
Down to the chocolates inside, and there are 12 generously sized chocs. The filling is very different to the Chocolate Bites - where that was quite dense, the Strawberry & Cream filling is a very light whipped cream, with the fresh flavour of strawberries. Nothing here tastes artificial, as is so often the case with fruit flavoured fillings and the milk chocolate is creamy with a good chocolate flavour. My only gripe would be that the chocolate is described on the box as being "thick", which I disagree with. Slightly more chocolate would be good!
These are lovely - if you are in Sainsbury's, I urge you to pick up a box from this range. I think these strawberry and cream chocs would be perfectly suited to a champagne picnic with your current amour :)

Im a big truffles so im definately gonna get around to trying these sometime! Arent they located somwehere really funny in store? like in the fridges or something...or is that just me :S

Then I highly recommend the Chocolate Bites, which I liked even better than the Strawberry ones.
As they are made with fresh cream (and as a result have a relatively short shelf life), they are located in the chiller cabinet - at my Sainsbury's, where the cream cakes are kept.
