My friend Jane recently came across a chocolate shop in Peterborough Ontario with what can only be described as some of the best looking treats ever. Here's what she had to say:
"These chocolates tasted as good as they look.
The independently owned chocolate shop showcases the artistry of chocolate making. They had some traditional standbys like caramel and mint but many of the truffles available were unusually flavoured. I only picked out 4, but they had about 20 available, and choosing was difficult. I can't wait to go back and pick out a few more.
From left to right:
Chai Tiger - Chai Tea: they got the spices and black tea notes of this one exactly right, and the texture was so smooth.
Aztec - 4 peppers: In some ways this was a very traditional dark chocolate truffle, but it had a hot spiciness that accompanied the dark chocolate flavour.
Madras - curry/coconut creme: I would have never put curry and bitter sweet chocolate together, but it works amazingly well. It was more of a savoury experience instead of sweet.
Polar Bear - White Chocolate: White chocolate through and through, I don't know if it was good, because someone else ate it! I'd give them the benefit of the doubt."
