Adam and Eve's Valentine's Box: Part III

I missed yesterday's truffle review due to a Super Mario bender with Ash and Megan, and cat adoption procedures this morning. Not to worry, though - I will simply double up today's review. Twice as many truffles...doesn't sound like a problem to me!

So - today I'm featuring my #10th, #9th, #8th, and #7th favorite chocolates from Adam And Eve Chocolatier's 14-truffle Valentine's Box.

#10 - White and Milk Chocolate Heart

This truffle is one of AE's V-day seasonal special features. It features a milk chocolate-streaked-white exterior, with smooth milk chocolate ganache inside. The filling was a bit more soft and fluid than most, but this wasn't unwelcome. A satisfying truffle, and the heart shape adds some seasonal romance.

#9 - Mango

This lovely bonbon has a milk chocolate outer shell, and mango infused ganache filling. I thought it could be a bit MORE mango-ey, but readers should be warned that I like my flavors the same way I like my classical composers - histrionic. This treat was still excellent. Softer than the others, and with a hint of the exotic.

#8 - Buttery Praline

This truffle is a little different, with a rougher, dark chocolate exterior, dusted with unsweetened cocoa. Inside, the filling is melt-in-your-mouth buttery, faintly salty, and satisfyingly good. Another excellent companion to a cappuccino or latte.

#7 - Matcha Green Tea

This truffle is white chocolate coated, with matcha green tea and white ganache filling. It is quite mild - sweet, but not overpoweringly so, with the white chocolate balanced nicely by the grassy, honeydewy matcha flavor. I love this truffle for it's unique character - it stands apart from the other chocolates, stately and sophisticated.
