Guide Review - Black Truffle Chocolates

Black Truffle chocolatiers don't make ordinary chocolate. As you nibble your way through one of their "confection selections" it will take you a while before you run across a totally chocolate flavored piece. No, first you'll have to appreciate the key lime filling that tastes as though you bit into a slice of pie that's been enrobed in delicious dark chocolate. Next, you may find yourself crunching your way through the delicately crisp hazelnut praline. Persevere, and you'll discover the exotic earl grey tea or perhaps the exotic five spice ganache filling.

You won't mistake the raspberry flavored white chocolate for anything else with its pretty red and white top design. Eventually you'll hit upon the dark chocolate ganache that lurks beneath the dark chocolate shell. But you may feel as I did that it's much more interesting to continue to explore the some of the other unmistakable flavors including a potent rum, rich caramel, and sweet passion fruit. Whichever one you choose, you'll agree that it's worth the hunt to discover which one of these delicious, hand crafted confections is your favorite.
