My family and I just had an unbelievable chocolate task – we tried to decide which one of Madelaine Duets Double-Filled Chocolate Truffles were the best. Dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it… and I insist upon it being me!
I was sent a gorgeous box of Madelaine Duets double filled chocolate truffles to review for Get Cooking. Have I told you lately how much I love what I do? These truffles are so amazing, I’m in complete awe of them. We all went back and forth over which one is the best – I think we finally decided that we’d walk across glass for any of the varieties.
As if through magic, Madelaine has created four flavorful and wonderfully creative combinations: Peanut Butter & Caramel, Milk Truffle & White Truffle, Raspberry & Peanut Butter and Raspberry & White Truffle. Each delicious combination is encased in the finest milk chocolate shell imaginable. And they aren’t small truffles by any means.
The Madelaine® Chocolate Company researched and experimented with several flavors to create the best combinations.
“We experimented with the finest ingredients and numerous flavor combinations to find the perfect flavor harmony. The raspberry could not be too tart or too sweet or it would overpower the peanut butter. At the same time, we needed a buttery caramel that would enhance the flavor of the creamy smooth peanut butter. And of course the milk and white truffle had to be perfectly balanced.”
My daughters’ favorites were the Peanut Butter & Caramel and Milk Truffle & White Truffle. My husband (who was working when the box came and was left with one to try!!!) loved the Peanut Butter Caramel Truffle (poor dear, he lives with a houseful of chocoholics who readily share everything except chocolate). As for me, you know what, I think I might barely choose the Raspberry & White Truffle. I’ve always been particularly crazy about the flavor raspberry and don’t often have the chance to enjoy it as a candy – especially not while paired with white chocolate. You can’t even begin to imagine how outstanding this truffle is!
Whatever you do, head over to Madelaine Duets website and place a couple of orders: Grab some for yourself, of course, and grab a couple of varieties for your mom. Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I promise you, these truffles will put a smile on mom’s face that will fill your heart with happiness.
These chocolate truffles are completely and utterly sensational.
Spring is one of my favorite times of the year – everything just comes to life and there seems to be absolute, unspoiled beauty everywhere you look. What a PERFECT time of the year to celebrate Earth Day (today!) and Mother’s Day.
Green & Black’s Organic Chocolate – the chocolate that makes no compromises – is offering some great ideas to observe both holidays.
Green & Black’s chocolates allow you to make eco-friendly choices while not compromising on life’s everyday indulgences. This is seriously, seriously delicious chocolate.
This year, in honor of Earth Day, Green & Black’s is offering a downloadable widget with daily tips on how to live green and black –respecting the earth while indulging in the best things it has to offer.
Some tips include:
- While cooking for friends at your next dinner party, shop at your closest farmers’ market. Buying from local farms puts money back into your community, plus the produce will be fresher than items transported across the country.
- On your next vacation, book a hotel that’s LEED-certified. The certification stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a national standard for builders looking to make a smaller impact on the environment.
- Go to DineGreen.com to determine how eco-conscious your favorite restaurant is. The Green Restaurant Association offers various certification levels, based on criteria like whether a restaurant buys locally or composts its waste.
Be inspired by these eco-friendly ideas when celebrating Mother’s Day on May 10.
Treat Mom to an indulgent gift that also treats the environment.
- If Mom can’t live without her morning cup of coffee or tea (guilty!), buy her a travel mug from her favorite coffee shop. She can travel to work in style while reducing the number of paper cups she uses.
- Get Mom a chic metallic or cloth-covered case in which to carry her lunch; pack it with healthy snacks, like homemade granola, or a square or two of Green & Black’s organic chocolate.
- Set-up a window box herb garden for Mom in the kitchen. Sprigs of fresh rosemary, parsley, and mint help make dishes more vibrant.
And you can never go wrong with treating Mom to a gift of delicious chocolate. Give Mom a variety of her favorite chocolate flavors – wrap up three to four bars of Green & Black’s organic chocolate in a bow for an affordable and delectable gift Mom can indulge in.
Green & Black’s offers 12 chocolate flavors ranging from light to dark chocolate. Traditional varieties include White, Milk, and Dark, while the more unique flavors are Maya Gold, Ginger, Espresso and new Toffee.
