Jacquot assorted chocolates

(From May 2010.)
Aunt C gave us this heart-shaped can of candy. Probably from Valentine. (Hope it's this year's, not last year's!) There are 4 types in the can.

Pistachio
The most exotic one here. Quite sweet. Can't really tell it was pistachio.

Macadamia
It's got a much softer and airier texture, but the sweetness is also overpowering and can't tell it's macadamia.

Hazelnut
Finally I can sense some familiarity. It's still too weak, like a ghost of hazelnut instead of the nut itself. And, I'm starting to feel the staleness in the candy. It's supposed to expire in November, though. Texture is in between macadamia and pistachio.

Almond
Same as hazelnut, it's very weak. Nevertheless you can sense a little bit. There's very few pieces of nut in the one I had. Texture is the toughest of all.

Overall, the filling is actually quite dry, and full of bubbles, not like the picture.
