Chocolate Truffles
Amaretto
If you can't be in Italy, you can at least indulge yourself in the romance of Amaretto and chocolate. This truffle is crafted with 60% dark chocolate ganache, almond-flavoured liqueur and topped with toasted almonds and chocolate lacing. Chocolate and almond...what's not to love?
Austrian Rum
The basis for one of the most traditional of all European truffle flavours, Austrian rum is a liqueur with which most Americans are still unfamiliar. Our 60% dark chocolate ganache is a rich blend of Austrian rum, cream and butter coated with a 70% dark chocolate coating, evoking memories of the Old World holiday season.
Grand Marnier
This dark chocolate truffle has a ganache filling with a hint of orange, further enhanced with a garnish of candied orange zest. For those who love the combination of citrus and chocolate, this truffle is perfect for that "little something" to complete any wonderful meal.
Coffee/Kahlua
Our own little eye opener that will stimulate your tastebuds as well. What better combination than chocolate, kahlua, and coffee topped with Lindt white chocolate. Something nice to enjoy with your afternoon cup of joe.
Coconut
The combination of chocolate and coconut is as classic as German chocolate cake. Our twist on this combination is ganache mixed with coconut, coated with a shell of white or dark chocolate and topped with more sweet toasted coconut. We recommend having more then one!
Champagne
The velvety smoothness of cognac, from the Champagne region of France, blended with milk chocolate and white Lindt chocolate creates a light truffle that will play nicely with your favorite bottle of bubbly. Perhaps an added indulgence at your next champagne brunch...or, just an added indulgence.
Raspberry
The pairing of chocolate and raspberries is one of the most satisfying partnerships we can think of. Our raspberry truffle is chocolate ganache comingled with liqueur de framboise and a puree of fresh raspberries, coated with 70% Jamieson’s chocolate and finished with dried organic raspberries. For your next romantic dinner, have these and nothing else.
Chevre
All the creamy lusciousness of a classic chocolate truffle with just the subtle hint of fresh local Bleugrass Chevre. A truly distinctive, sophisticated delicacy.
Pistachio
This truffle is made with pistache en pate mixed with chocolate ganache, coated with 70% dark chocolate and garnished with toasted pistachios. It is as lovely to look at as it is to eat.
Bourbon
Our bourbon truffle is rich dark chocolate infused with the warm notes of Kentucky bourbon. Like a good bourbon, this truffle has multiple layers of flavor that are complex and meant to be savored. It makes us Kentucky Proud, and shares little resemblance to a bourbon ball. When giving a taste of Kentucky, why not give a bourbon confection that is additive and preservative free?
Mint
A chocolate grasshopper! Crème de menthe ganache coated with dark chocolate… Need we say more?
