Eat with your Eyes: Kopper’s Absinthe Cordials

Koppers Absinthe Cordials

I love Kopper’s Rum Cordials. There are lots of flavors, but I prefer the tried and true combination of rum and dark chocolate. The Kopper’s Absinthe Cordials are a little different because they have a crunchy candy shell in addition to the dark chocolate layer. A little too much sugar for me, but the absinthe flavor - a combination of anise, lavender and juniper in my opinion - makes for an interesting treat.
