"Sweet Dreams are Made of This" Handmade Pralinés in Munich






Even though directly located behind one of Munich´s main sites, “Viktualienmarkt”, the chocolate manufacturer “Amai” is the kind of store, that doesn’t draw your attention right away. But walking by without buying anything would be a bittersweet tragedy!



In 2002 Sabine Heinsch founded the cute, little store. She was motivated by the lack of pralinés and chocolates that looked just amazing and were created with the best and purest ingredients available. Lucky us! Now, chocolate afficionados are thrilled about the extremely high standards of both the raw materials used and the precison in creating these deligtful pieces of seduction. “Amai“ does not use any preservatives at all, and not even a single machine, in the manufacturing process.



The pyramid shaped pralinés come in 55 different variations. Starting from fresh notes like apple, blueberry and green tea, progressing to richer tastes like plum, almond and cinnamon and then topping off with experimental variations like wasabi and black pepper. The difficult choice is up to you. You can also purchase beautifully crafted bars of choclate and adorable petit fours.





Once a month the founder and owner of the cute little store, Sabine Heinsch, unveils her secret and lets you create your own selection of sweet delicacies in her "Pralines workshop". Other workshops evolve around the combination of wine and chocolate, or baking and creating your own wedding cake as part of a bachelorette party.



Pralinés cost about 1,20 Euros per piece
Chocolate bars cost between 4,90 and 6,90 Euros
