Éclat Chocolate

Éclat Chocolate

What’s better than a box of chocolate on Valentine’s Day?  A surprise box (or two) of chocolates that arrive with the promise of more surprises yet to come.

The Peruvian Nacional Traditional Truffles

It just doesn’t get any better than this.

Oh, wait.  That’s not entirely true.  These were even better.

So very much better…

The truffles are all about balance.  They’re about balancing the bitter with the creamy sweet.  That is not the Good & Evil bar.  The Good & Evil bar takes you to the edge.  You know that perfect space where bitter hints at sweetness, giving you just enough.  But, it keeps you craving more.  You want another bite of that bitter, sweet thing that defines chocolate and makes it the incredibly special thing that it is.

The tiny little roasted nibs add just the right touch of crunch and bitterness.

Bittersweet chocolate perfection?  It really is.

Shiraz Truffles

Also lovely, these were the sweetest of the three.

We really missed the light dusting of cocoa powder that hits your tongue with bitter and sweet in every bite.  That’s what we really want.

Éclat Chocolate, you know you want it.
