I tried to keep the box of Sucré bon-bons I received (free to review) a secret from my husband. Alas, he sniffed them out even from their hiding place waaaaaay in the back of the refrigerator behind some old condiments and leftover soup.The good news is that I was able to taste each of the three special holiday flavors in the Sugar and Spice collection before my stash was discovered.
- Candy Cane White Chocolate Truffle: Velvety white chocolate ganache infused with bits of peppermint candies in a pure white chocolate shell. Mmmmmm.
- Eggnog Dark Chocolate Truffle: A mix of traditional holiday eggnog and white chocolate captured in a dark chocolate shell. Yuuummm.
- Gingerbread Milk Chocolate Truffle: A special blend of holiday spices mixed with milk chocolate ganache, surrounded by a milk chocolate shell. O.M.G. ... perfection.
A friend did me a big favor a few days after I received these truffles, and I gave her several as a thank-you. Even without the lovely packaging (I stuck them in a random cardboard box with some parchment paper--sorry, Chef Tariq), the flavors won her over immediately. A box of these truffles would make a really special hostess gift or treat for a friend this winter. Or check out some of the other amazing-looking goodies available at Sucré (handmade marshmallows, anyone? Or how about a collection of 6 artisan chocolate bars?).
