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

The truffle countdown continues! Here are my reviews for truffles #6 and #5 from my Valentine's Box. We're starting to get down to the REALLY phenomenal ones now, folks!

#6 - Citrus zest

This is one of the more visually smashing truffles available, with curls of lemon and lime zest sprinkled on the dark chocolate exterior. The filling is potent, mouth-watering lemon-lime-infused ganache. Interestingly, this chocolate appears to be double-shelled, with dark chocolate on the exterior, and milk chocolate lining the well of ganache. This may be to add extra sweetness to balance out the deliciously sour lemon-lime filling.

#5 - Marc De Champagne

This truffle's milk chocolate exterior comes dusted with icing sugar, while the filling is champagne infused ganache. This one was a real treat. Sophisticated and fulfilling - you can almost feel the bubbles. The oak-y, boozy tones of the champagne are perfectly offset by the sweet, melty icing sugar.

On a truffle-unrelated note, a special shout-out to my lil' sis for making a delightful new banner for the blog - doesn't it look terrific? Thanks, Carmen ;)
