Gourmet Truffles

Truffles originated in France. “Simply” truffles are a chocolate confectionery made with a ganache center and coated in chocolate or cocoa powder. They are named after the precious black truffle fungus----only because of it’s appearance.

Truffles; as was fudge, originated from an accident. But what a wonderful irresistible accident.

The best gourmet truffles are always made fresh. In any size, shape of flavor; gourmet truffles arouse your senses and put your sweet tooth into a state of euphoria.

Some wonderful flavors to enjoy are black raspberry, cappuccino, butter pecan, hazelnut, tiramisu, rum, lemon, key lime, champagne or black forest.

All truffles should give a delicious chocolate experience from the finest ingredients and luscious coverings.

Fresh Gourmet Chocolate

Americans love fresh gourmet chocolate. Gourmet chocolate is the single most craved food in the United States.

Chocolate has been worshiped for over 3000 years....having taken on many forms. It all started as a bitter drink – and look at it today. Everywhere you look there is chocolate; wonderful fresh gourmet chocolate in one form or another.

Nowadays holidays have gourmet chocolate as part of the celebrations. Valentines - chocolate hearts, Easter - chocolate eggs and bunnies, Mother’s Day - a box of assorted chocolates, Halloween - caramel and chocolate covered apples, and of course Christmas - chocolate Santas and fresh made truffles.

Many special occasions serve chocolate in some form or another. Weddings - chocolate fountains, Birthdays - chocolate cake and ice cream, Anniversary’s - chocolate roses.

Some large manufacturers of chocolate make chocolates in huge batches — sometimes even a year in advance. These chocolates are usually placed in cold storage, awaiting shipment to stores or other wareho
uses; again to sit on shelves until sold.

Fresh Gourmet Chocolates are made when an order is placed, and shipped within days of being made. Therefore they taste fresh, because they are fresh
made premium chocolates.

It is said once one experiences the pleasure of fresh gourmet chocolates you
will be tempted again and again.
