Did I ever mention I love chocolate?? Chocolate.com review

Yes, I love chocolate. I love milk chocolate. I love dark chocolate. I even love white chocolate. So you can imagine that I jumped at the chance to taste and review some great selections from Chocolate.com.

Jembrana Hancrafted Dark Chocolate 70% Cacao Minimum by Amano Artisan Chocolate

I received my "happy package" on Monday and couldn't wait to see what was in the box. The first was an amazing bar of 70% Dark Chocolate from Amano. I will admit that even though I will eat any and all chocolate I do prefer milk chocolate and rarely buy dark. This bar has converted me. It is deep and rich, and so flavorful. This is the kind of chocolate that you eat slowly and savor. Let it melt on your tongue and enjoy the rich flavor. I would buy this candy bar to enjoy as an everyday treat.

Jennifer- Marzipan/Pistachio Truffles by Knipschildt Chocolatier

Next in the box were Marzipan/pistachio truffles from Knipschildt Chocolatier. My first reaction when I saw them was that I couldn't wait to try one. They are enrobed in dark chocolate and have a dusting of pistachios on top. So far, so good. I love pistachios. I love dark chocolate. But I have to say that these left me a little disappointed. They weren't bad, but they weren't that good either. The flavor of the filling was almost bland. The dark chocolate covering the truffle was great. A very strong and slightly sweet chocolate that would be great alone or with a stronger flavored filling, but it was just overwhelming with the pistachio filling.

Chocolate Truffle Bar from Chocolate.com

The last item in my box was the one that made me the happiest. Happy because of the description. Happy because it is beautifully hand-painted. Happy because of how wonderful it tastes. And Happy because there is enough of it to last me nearly a week. OK, let me explain. Imagine a 5 inch long truffle. Shaped into a long pyramid and hand painted. Filled with milk, dark, and white chocolate infused with hazelnut puree and caramel.

Are you drooling yet??

This is what the card on the package says "Double Hazelnut Caramel. A hand-painted truffle with contrasting tiers of milk chocolate flavored with hazelnut puree, white chocolate infused with caramel and dark chocolate with a hint of ground hazelnut. "

YUM!

The directions say to cut slices off to enjoy. Enjoy.....yes I am! The inside of the truffle is nearly as pretty as the outside. It would be awesome for serving at a party. But way more important than looks is the taste. Soft, creamy and perfect. Hazelnuts and chocolate go together perfectly. There is no other way to describe it. And caramel....who doesn't like caramel?? This caramel melts in your mouth and isn't overly sweet like kiddy caramels. I am sure my kids would enjoy this if given the chance but NO.....this is mommy's chocolate and mommy ain't sharing!
