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

I must again apologize for the delay in posting the last reviews in my truffle series. Our new kitty came home yesterday, so we've been very busy with preparations, and getting to know her.

I've decided to post the final four truffles from the Valentine's Box all at once. These four truffles are the pinnacle of Adam and Eve's chocolate art - true titans of chocolatey deliciousness.

#4 Chocolate Cherry


I've had a lot of chocolate cherries in my day, but none quite this good. These guys come wrapped in red foil, with a gemstone-shaped dark chocolate outer coating. Inside, an explosion of REAL cherry flavor. It's like biting into a silky, syrup-coated bing cherry right out of my grandfather's orchard.

#3 White Strawberry Heart

This truffle tastes delightfully like the Strawberry Cow I used to love as a little girl. It sports a creamy, sweet white chocolate exterior marbled with red on the outside, with a strawberry flavored white ganache filling. The heart shape makes this truffle even more fun. Sadly, I think this one may be a seasonal offering.

#2 Lemonlicious


Every time I visit AE, I HAVE to have this truffle. It features a luscious, white chocolate shell, encasing a sweet yet mouthwateringly tart lemon filling. It's like living in a tiny house carved inside a Meyer lemon...

And, at last:

#1 Strawberry Marc De Champagne



Of all the truffles Adam and Eve has to offer, this one is by far the best - a true work of art. The exterior is irregular, similar to the buttery praline, but coated in delicate, shaved milk chocolate that feathers away on your tongue. Under these shale-like layers of chocolate lies a divine filling - lively strawberry balanced by crisp, bright notes of champagne. The only thing that could possibly improve this truffle would be to pair it with a glass of REAL champagne.
