Review: Pure Madness Truffles

So, I got a box of Pure Madness chocolate truffles sent in the mail (thanks, guys!), so I decided to give them a whirl. Being generous, I thought I'd share them with my husband.

Also, since I am doing the 4-Hour Body diet, I had to eat them all in one insanely decadent day. It was a box of 9, so that's a generous 4 1/2 chocolates each to be savored and devoured without much ado.

The truffles are absolutely gorgeous in the promo photos, but the first thing I noticed was that a bunch of the fancy-schmancy and obviously very fragile toppings had fallen off in the mail! They were packed very well, so maybe they were jostled a bit too much by my doorman? I didn't take a photo since it was a little disappointing... they were still pretty, just not as photo-shoot sexy as they would have been had I bought them from a local chocolatier.

On to the taste: what can I say? The dark chocolate truffles had awesome, smooth, and intensely chocolatey flava. Most excellent truffles! Highly recommended!

Tasting Highlights

Sea Salt Caramel - the chocolate was very smooth and the saltiness was a delectable counterpoint

Espresso - great coffee taste!

Hazelnut - something about hazelnut and chocolate together takes me to a higher plane

In A Nutshell

Living in NYC, I might opt to go to a local guy rather than buy them online... but the Pure Madness chocolates were outstanding enough to send as gifts for the holidays. If I didn't live here, I'd totally indulge!
