Translation

German - English

Alpen - Alps, alpine / from the alps mountain range, milk from mountain pastured cows?

chocolade - chocolate

kugeln - roll

milch - milk

zarter - soft or fine

Very more-ish. Marzipan? If so, the almonds are very finely ground and the taste is very subtle. But just right.

We had a box of Mozart chocolates after dinner instead of dessert. Chocolates for dessert with a dessert wine. 

A box of 12 chocolates between four of us. Try one and want another. See somebody else take a second and you think, why not. Don't mind if I do.

Two chocolates for each person, left four. Two is enough for one person, and leaves enough for another day. 

Another hour of conversation. How about another chocolate. Oops, only three chocolates left. Did I eat three? I can't eat another. That's more than my share. Also more than my daily allowance of calories and sugar in my teeth. 

Maybe I could buy some for myself or as a gift. 

German Chocolates

I had dinner with a friend from Germany who speaks fluent English and German. When I tried her Mozart chocolates, they were slightly different from the ones I remembered. I later realised that you can visit a complex of cafes in Germany.

Austrian Chocolates

However, I had first bought Mozart chocolates on a plane home, not from Germany but from Austria. I had travelled to and from Vienna in Austria.  In Vienna the chocolate makers are connected to several Mozart sites and events. So you have two travel opportunities, one in Austria and one in Germany.

You are likely to find these chocolates all over Austria, at museums associated with Mozart, and at supermarkets and airports. You might even be able to buy them on the plane, for that last minute gift.

To visit the German complex of indoor and outdoor coffee shops and their shop:

Café Reber
Ludwigstraße 10-12
83435 Bad Reichenhall
Germany

Telephone:  +49 8651 6003128
Email:    info@reber.com

A route map can be found here.

I then checked again and found the Austrian chocolate maker story, originally from Salzburg, and heavily involved in supporting and sponsoring exhibitions and events. I aw a mention of pistachios, so if you are fussy about your nuts or want to compare different products, check the ingredients.

Chocolates with the word Mozart come in assorted shapes and sizes. The Salzburg Mozart balls (Austria) also come as minis, maybe fewer calories and more to share, and lower price per piece - or higher, depending on which quantity you are buying and seasonal specials - check the latest offers.

If you have a nut allergy and get given a box and want to give them away, you know who would be delighted to receive them.
