Vosges Haut Chocolat sent me a box of their wonderful truffles to try for review. Have you ever tried Vosges chocolates? They are wonderful, fancy-pants chocolates made with flowers, marscarpone, cinnamon, dark chocolate, and peppemint candies. Beautiful! The sampler that I got contained Peppermint Candy Cane, Holiday Plum Pudding, Mascarpone and Ceylon Cinnamon Snap, and an Eggnog and Jamaican Rum truffle. My favorite was the Eggnog and Rum with white chocolate, but they were all lovely.
You can find Vosges chocolates online or in Chicago, Las Vegas, or New York City.
When faced with a truffle, your impulse will be to scarf it down. Resist that impulse. Instead take the time to savor it. Vosges suggests...*Read the story of the chocolates, then do some yoga breathing. Meditate on the upcoming chocolate experience.
*See the chocolate. Make a note of the glossy surface.
*Lick the top of the chocolate - it's a "teaser."
*Does the chocolate "snap" when you bite into it? This is the mark of a chocolate at it's peak.
*Savor the taste of the truffle. Yum......
