Watch what happened when we tried tomato ketchup flavoured chocolates

It's the most romantic day of the year, and what screams romance better than... tomato ketchup flavoured chocolates?

Fortnum and Mason has teamed up with Heinz to create what they call a "mouth-watering" concoction - and they're not cheap.

The limited edition box of Valentines chocolates contains a selection of milk, dark and white chocolate truffles.

Each truffle is filled with a blonde chocolate ganache and Heinz tomato ketchup.

Watch the video above to see what happened when we tried the unusual treats - the results are very surprising.

Alexandra Bayet, Sauces Marketing Manager, Heinz said: “Ketchup and chocolate are two of the nation’s most loved foods, and we felt that it was only right that on the international day of love we combine these two ingredients, resulting in mouth-watering truffles that are set to delight ketchup and chocolate lovers across the country.”

Sophie Young, Confectionery Buyer at Fortnum & Mason, said: “During the recipe development process, our chocolatiers considered the flavour profiles of both cocoa and the much-loved Heinz Tomato Ketchup, playing tasting elements off each other to balance both creaminess and tanginess.

"They have developed something truly and unexpectedly delicious, showcasing Fortnum’s ability to create unique and exciting pairings that will capture the attention of ketchup enthusiasts and satisfy even the most sophisticated of palates.”

A box is available from  https://www.fortnumandmason.com/ and in store at the Piccadilly, St. Pancras, The Royal Exchange and Heathrow Terminal 5 locations for £19.95 for a limited time only - but only while stocks last.
