Viennese Truffles

For Mother’s Day from Thorntons

I buy my mother the same thing every Mother’s Day, which this year falls on Sunday 30th March in the UK.

A box of Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts and a bag of Thornton’s Viennese truffle. They have been her favourites for as long as I can remember.

Even my Gran liked a trip to the Thornton’s shop.

Not that easy to find, many of the individual shops have now shut. Fortunately we have a Thornton’s concession in our local

Post office. Yes we’ve still got a post office.

You can also still by these sweet treats online.

The Viennese truffles are a sugar coated chocolate candy casing around a soft whipped truffle centre. Not nutty, more creamy and chocolatey.

You can find them on Amazon or buy directly from Thornton’s online. A 97g bag contains about 12 truffles and costs around £6

Full biography

Went to Doncaster and then Leeds Uni. Graduated 1992. Married. Two kids. Like building things and fiddling with wood. Used to like a pint, have given up a few times whenever I wanted to get fit or lose weight. Gave up drinking last year for the marathon in February 2025 and haven’t had a drink since. Gone back to eating sweets instead. Like to cook. And walk my dogs. Enjoy collecting antiques and life in the country with the family. Done a bit of investing, made a bit of money on Bitcoin and like the idea of being paid to tell stories about businesses good and not so good. I also like the idea of disrupting e commerce a little bit and giving the little guy a push when 82% of us are shopping permanently on Amazon.
