Dark chocolate cherry liqueur chocolates with whole sour cherries and a liquid brandy centre: perfect as an elegant after-dinner treat or distinctive gift.

What Are Cherry Liqueur Chocolates?

Known in Hungary as Konyakmeggy, these are dark chocolate bonbons with a whole sour cherry preserved in brandy, a soft fondant layer and a liquid cherry liqueur centre. Each bite begins with rich dark chocolate before giving way to bright fruit and a warming alcoholic finish.

Stühmer’s Lellei Konyakmeggy is handmade and covered in Belgian dark chocolate. It is a grown-up chocolate for anyone who enjoys the contrast of dark cocoa, juicy sour cherry and brandy liqueur.

The presentation is part of its charm. The black-and-gold gift box features bright Kalocsai folk-art flowers. It is an excellent choice for anyone who appreciates folk design and thoughtful food gifts with a story behind them.

How to Enjoy Cherry Liqueur Chocolates

These chocolates are particularly good after dinner with espresso, black coffee or a small glass of dessert wine. Their fruit-and-liqueur character also makes them a lovely addition to an evening dessert plate, served alongside dark chocolate, fresh cherries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

They are beautifully presented for gifting, but equally rewarding when shared slowly after a meal. Put them out with coffee when friends visit, bring them as a dinner-party gift or add them to an elegant chocolate selection for sharing.

Where Do They Come From?

These chocolates are made by Stühmer, one of Hungary’s most historic chocolate names. Frigyes Stühmer, a master confectioner from Hamburg, began making chocolates in Hungary in 1868; the brand became known for quality confectionery and distinctive gift-box presentation.

Konyakmeggy is one of the country’s classic chocolate specialities. Stühmer’s version combines whole brandy-soaked sour cherries, fondant and dark chocolate. The stylised floral pattern takes inspiration from Kalocsai folk art, one of Hungary’s best-loved decorative traditions. This traditional format has long been associated with special occasions, festive gifting and after-dinner treats.
