Mr. FedEx rang the doorbell this afternoon with a package for Desmond's Culinary Services. The box was too large to contain a check and too small to house a full set of Global knives (if anyone from Global reads this, holla at me!). It was, however, the perfect size to hold my box of exotic collection of Haut Chocolat by Vosges Chocolate. This is not your average chocolate!
These truffles are made with ingredients such as Chinese Star Anise, Guajillo & Pasilla Chillies, Fennel, Candied Violet Flower, and Wasabi. Some even contain liqueurs like Cointreau.
I have never been a big fan of Dark Chocolate as it is a little too bitter for my palate - but I had to taste them all. I actually liked the Tanzanie Dark Chocolate though! My best experiences were with the Milk Chocolate varieties. I decided to share my top three:
The most surprising to me was the Naga. I never knew Curry and Chocolate could marry so well!
