Chocolate Gingerbread Hearts 350g

Chocolate gingerbread hearts combine soft honey dough, a fruity filling and a dark chocolate coating for a gently spiced treat to share with tea or coffee.

What Is Chocolate Gingerbread?

These bite-sized, filled gingerbread biscuits combine soft, gently spiced honey dough with a fruity centre and a dark chocolate coating. Cinnamon, ginger and clove bring warmth to each bite, while the chocolate adds a richer cocoa finish.

The filling is made with apple, apricot and plum, adding a fruity contrast to the honey sweetness and fragrant spices. If you enjoy chocolate Lebkuchen, these chocolate-covered gingerbread hearts offer a similarly comforting combination of honey, spice and chocolate, with a jam-like fruit centre.

How to Enjoy Chocolate Gingerbread

• Enjoy straight from the pack with a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
• Arrange on a sharing plate with Lebkuchen gingerbread biscuits and iced Pfeffernusse biscuits to compare their different coatings and textures.
• Serve beside vanilla ice cream, poached pears or stewed apples for a simple dessert with chocolate, fruit and warming spice.
• Add to a Christmas biscuit selection or tuck a pack into a food hamper for someone who enjoys gingerbread.

Cook’s Tip

For a quick layered dessert, break a few hearts into small pieces and spoon into glasses with vanilla yoghurt and stewed apples. Assemble just before serving so the gingerbread keeps some of its texture.

Where Does It Come From?

Made in Serbia by Pionir, these chocolate-covered gingerbread hearts are sold as Honey Heart, or Medeno Srce. First introduced in 1978, they are a familiar treat for anyone who grew up enjoying Serbian sweets and an approachable introduction for anyone discovering them for the first time.

The combination of honey, warm spices and chocolate makes them a comforting addition to our gingerbread collection, whether you are stocking up for afternoon tea or choosing sweet treats to share.
