New Farm Confectionery - Brisbane

I recommend the cookies teig amazeballs and the celestial chocolate barks. / we also tried the marshmallows, which are good, but a little too sweet for me, but this is just personal taste, they were light and texture was great. agree with previous reviews that the salted caramel tastes slightly burned, as if it had been taken a touch too far with heat.

With a gift box. would say every article overpriced for what it was. massive rocky rd fan, and that has not fulfilled any expectations.

I highly recommend the cookie dough amazeballs, and the raspberry chocolate barks. We tried the marshmallows as well, which are good but a bit too sweet for me - but that's personal taste only, they were light and texture was great. Agree with earlier reviews that the salted caramel tastes slightly burnt like it's been taken a touch too far with heat. Will be back!

The owner of New Farm Confectionery took their inspiration from a trip to Paris and created their shop with adults in mind.  They encourage you to "embrace your inner child who misses the luxury of a little sweet, now and again". On this occasion I went with the Peanut Brittle ($6), the Salted Caramels ($7) and the Raspberry Sherbet with a Lollipop ($5). I love Peanut Brittle, so that was the first package I tore into.  It was creamy golden yellow in color, had a beautiful crunch and was a delightful snack.  I generally prefer a more translucent 'glass' peanut brittle, but New Farm Confectionery's peanut brittle was quite nice - the bag disappeared in a matter of minutes - and is worthy of a high rating - 4. Next came the Salted Caramels.  The texture and flavour are pleasant, but there is something not quite right - it just doesn't taste like caramel....more like an overcooked toffee. I was sitting at a 3-3.5 rating, but I worried that the peanut brittle might have been playing tricks with my palate, so I also shared the Salted Caramels around the office and invited feedback and their ratings.  With the exception of one colleague who rated it a 5, the others all rated it between a 3 and a 4.  I came back to these and wrote this section while chewing on a caramel.  The caramel is a 3 - especially when you consider that you are paying $7 for 100 grams and it wasn't knock your socks of by any means. I saved the Raspberry Sherbet and Lollipop for last.  This is advertised as old-time sherbet with an 'intense flavour', made with freeze dried raspberries.  I loaded the lollipop up with sherbet and popped it in my mouth.  A split second later, my eyes popped wide.  This is as advertised - very intense flavour!  A colleague described the sherbet as 'like a Warhead, if a Warhead was made from real freeze dried fruit'.  I made my way to the lollipop, which reminded me of an old-time barley candy infused with honey and soothed the taste buds in between reloads of sherbet.  I eventually put the lollipop and sherbet aside -  a bit too intense and messy for work.  $5 for a lollipop and a bit of sherbet is steep, but this was a unique flavour that was worth tasting.  Overall, I would rate this a 3.5. In summary - interesting flavours, but a bit overpriced at $18 for 300 grams of brittle, caramel and sherbet.  I would return for the peanut brittle, but would give the others a pass.
