itsu chocolate 4 bao buns 180g
Product information
These molten chocolate bao'buns are, in truth, a small but historic breakthrough.
The itsu [grocery] mission is to dream up new and wonderful food ideas with our partners in Japan, Korea and China. Every now and then the team hit a bullseye; this is one such lucky example.
After more than 50 failed trials, we managed to get rich quality chocolate to flow, molten warm, from inside the fluffy bao'bun. We also made a salted caramel flavour blended with umami miso, which blew our socks off.
Serve them hot with ice cream or fruit; dust them [cappuccino style] with chocolate powder, or for the ultimate treat, plant a birthday candle dead centre.

Eat with care...
I'd never tried bao buns before, of any kind, so wasn't quite sure what to expect... but I thought, hey, they're chocolate, and they're vegan, I'll give them a whirl. I'm quite impressed; they are light and fluffy, and very chocolatey. (For me, the filling could perhaps be a little sweeter, but that's a matter of personal taste.) However, they are quite hard to eat without making a mess; you should probably not give these to your enthusiastic toddler, because it's not easy even for an adult to avoid spilling some of the filling. They're also a little inclined to split at the base during cooking (I am now getting round this by cooking them upside down, so that if they do split I don't lose any filling). Will be buying again!
nice and light
these are delicious I thought they would be stogy but they are light
A bit different
We liked these a nice sweet light dessert.
Really impressed
Thought Id give them a go as Id never tried sweet bao buns before! Absolutely delicious, firmer and more chewy than I was expecting and a lovely light dessert option.
Lovely
I've had their savoury bao buns so knew what to expect on that front. Chocolate is nice and gooey. Easy to heat up. Like others said, make sure you let it cool down!
good god
please never stop making these
