Which Should You Buy?
Sand Dance is a polarising gourmand that splits opinion. For some, it's a boozy, chocolatey dream, an ultimate cosy indulgence. For others, it’s a cloying, burnt caramel nightmare lacking depth. Definitely one to sample first.
This Grand Soir dupe is a divisive one. Many find it a near-perfect, long-lasting alternative at a fraction of the cost, especially after some maceration. Others find it lacks the depth of the original, with some noting a 'coke' or 'cough sweet' opening.
