Organic Caramel Truffles. I adore thee.
I met someone!See, I never liked caramel--to me it was always a chocolate wannabe that just wasn't cool enough to have cocoa in it.
And then two days ago, at a little paradise called the Whole Foods chocolate aisle, I finally met a caramel I kind of like. Really, really like. I bought a box of Organic Caramel Truffles for $6.99 and I'm a happy camper. It was the "truffle" part that called out to me.
Let it be known, I am head over heels in love with chocolate truffles. I think they make one of, if not the most, pleasurable experiences known in the chocolate world. I've had my share of good ones (Royce, I miss you) and bad ones, (Choxie, never call me again), but for the most part, truffles have been these sensual beings that never fail to excite me before, during, and after I eat them.
So I ripped the box open in the car and immediately, the smell of cocoa butter was intoxicating. Rrrrr. The truffle was dusted with cocoa powder--just the way I liked it--looking ever so handsome in deep brown hues. The caramel flavor lent itself nicely, almost like a smooth, sexy, milky-sweet indulgence that wraps around the tongue like silk. So consuming, it took command of my mouth so adamantly, there was nothing else left to do but surrender.
This could be serious.

Kris, this is my absolute favorite post so far. You are so good at this whole loving-chocolate-and-writing-about-it-in-a-way-that-makes-me-actually-care thing. Oh, and I'm going home for Thanksgiving, where there's a Whole Foods down the street. I'll definitely be picking up a box of those little loverboys and having my own secret affair with them...shh, don't tell Taylor.
ReplyDeleteNina, you make my heart sing! What can I say, chocolates are just too damn easy to fall in love with.. over and over and over again. Lemme know if you make any good chocolate discoveries in CA.. and don't worry your secret's safe with me. :)
ReplyDeletekris I'm pretty sure I'm gonna visit the nearest Whole Foods here in our place. Maybe I'm ignoring the shop before but now that you mention it. After finishing my custom essay, I'll pay a visit .
