This brand of chocolate owes its name to the name of the founder. After all, it was Andrey Korkunov who started working with confectionery products in 1993 and later brought it to modern scales. How can this brand please its customers today?

Becoming a giant

In 1993 Andrey Korkunov just started working with foreign suppliers. There was no talk of producing their own chocolate, and even more so sweets. But already in 1997, the company's turnover made it possible to think about its own factory. So from 1997 to 1999, a huge, modern factory was built in the Moscow region, which was designed to produce chocolate within 8 tons per year.

Literally a few years after the opening, the owner considered it necessary to modernize the production equipment and brought it from Italy in 2003. Today, thanks to this technique, one of the most popular brands of chocolates is produced.

Truffles

If we talk about the range, the sweets "A. Korkunov" can boast of 14 varieties with a variety of varieties of chocolate andfillings. Perhaps the most classic flavors are in truffles. And here are the ones produced by the company:

• "Bitter" - a dessert both inside and outside contains bitter cocoa powder. This is what gives them a unique, tart taste;
• "Milk" - more delicate milk chocolate is used here;
• "White" - This truffle is topped with coconut flakes over a layer of white chocolate, with a delicate Malibu liqueur inside;
• "Ginger" - here dark chocolate is unexpectedly successfully combined with ginger puree, there is also a decoration made of powdered sugar.

You can find a box of "Korkunov" sweets, consisting exclusively of this type of sweet. This is a must for truffle lovers.

Classic

The following delicacies that I would like to talk about can be called the most popular among the company's products. After all, if truffles or sweets with non-standard fillings can not always find a response in the hearts of the sweet tooth, then more classic flavors are always a win-win option.

• "Coffee" - in this little coffee ganache (cream of chocolate and fresh cream) goes well with dark chocolate;
• "Airy" - there is already a nut filler and the same dark chocolate shell;
• "Praline" - such a candy will surprise you with the content of crispy, waffle crumbs inside, which is combined with hazelnut praline;
• "Jasmine" - jasmine tea fits perfectly into the recipe for this delicacy, giving it a completely unique taste;
• "Earl Grey" - the famous variety of tea with bergamot confectioners supplemented with ganache and dark chocolate;
• "Zest" - it's not hard to guess that inside this candy you will find raisins along with amazing cream;
• "Pistachio" - almond-pistachio marzipan is the best for filling, especially if the candy itself is made of dark chocolate;
• "Almond" - Cointreau liqueur, marzipan, confectioners decided to add waffle crumbs to the delicacy with the same name.

Such a variety of assortment allows you to choose your favorite candy for everyone who loves sweets even a little. But the company "Korkunov", whose sweets are distinguished by a pleasant variety, did not stop there. And she created some more completely unusual and original tastes.

Out of the box

What can be attributed to the most original desserts? Here you will find only two items, but they are definitely worth your attention.

• "Mint" - white chocolate with mint creates an unusual range of taste that will be appreciated by those who do not like excessive cloying in desserts.
• "Charlotte" - it is difficult to compare the taste of a popular pie with a candy. Yet the confectioners were able to convey it by using apple ganache and delicate white chocolate.

Without trying these petitetreats, you will not be able to imagine how these non-standard ingredients can fit classic, chocolate sweets.

Customer Reviews

Dozens of consumer review sites are easy to find on the Internet. There you can also get acquainted with the opinion of those who have already tried Korkunov chocolates. And not just candy. Lovers of bars and regular chocolates also left their reviews there.

Most of these reviews can be called positive. The consumer responds positively to both the taste of the product and the packaging in which it is presented. Is that the price of sweets "Korkunov" does not suit everyone. But for the production of a quality product, of course, not cheap raw materials are required at all. And no company will agree to work at a loss.

Visitors of company stores gratefully note the individual approach to each customer. They will always help you to choose an assortment that is suitable in terms of content and design for your occasion.

Visual pleasure

Even if you haven't tried these sweets, it's hard not to notice them on the store shelf. This is because every approaching holiday is reflected by manufacturers on boxes of Korkunov sweets.

For example, a bright package dedicated to March 8, with a pattern of tulip buds, will not leave any girl indifferent. For the New Year, about a dozen assorted options are created in a variety of boxes, which are decorated with falling snow,bells and other New Year attributes.

There are also assorted sweets "Korkunov" for lovers who want to please their soul mate. It is not difficult to guess that the boxes for them are made in the form of a heart.

And this attention to detail is one of the reasons this brand takes the lead every holiday.

Homemade treat

It's easy to make chocolates at home. Perhaps they will be a little less accurate than the factory ones, but they may taste even better. After all, you choose your favorite ingredients.

For example, you can make sweets similar to "Korkunov" using cocoa powder:

• 50g butter;
• 5 tbsp. l. milk;
• 6 art. l. granulated sugar;
• 1 tsp flour;
• 5 tbsp. l. cocoa powder;
• nuts or dried fruits for stuffing of your choice;
• candy molds.

To begin with, everything that you have chosen for the filling must be washed and chopped. Then dry and grind in a blender to the state of small pieces. After that, milk and butter need to be heated in a ladle and add cocoa powder and sugar to them. Add flour and cook the resulting mixture for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove the chocolate mass from the heat and fill the candy molds halfway. Then we put the filling and fill it to the end. Cool in the refrigerator until completely solidified.

From such homemade sweets"Korkunov" assorted can be collected absolutely for every taste. The main thing is to show imagination!

About chocolate

Korkunov sweets, the price of which is still located in a fairly acceptable segment, often appear on holiday tables not only for adults, but also for children. And, if the first ones can control their desires and appetite, then the kids are often very difficult to do this.

In small quantities, even sweets can benefit the human body. But the excessive consumption of chocolates can lead to the most unpleasant consequences. And it's not just caries. After all, an increased content of cholesterol and fats leads to overweight and problems with the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, chocolate contains caffeine, which is contraindicated not only for children, but also for some adults.

That's why it's so important to watch your diet. Even if we are talking about delicious chocolate from one of the most famous producers in the country.
