Hal-Raspberry



Price: $10 for a pack of 6

Size: Half of a large marble

Description: Raspberry confiture on top of a balsamic ganache.

Notes: A beautiful dark chocolate truffle filled with a raspberry jelly.

Overall:  A familiar classic offering in a bold new world of chocolate choices.
Honey Nut


Price: $10 for a pack of 6

Size: Half of a large marble.

Description: Honey on top of an almond praline base.

Notes: A sweeter offering of real honey and almond crisp compliments the dark chocolate well.

Overall: Honey-Nut is not just for cereal anymore.
Vanilla Macaron





Price: $8 for a pack of 5

Size: Larger than the average macaron, about the size of an Oreo

Description: Light, chewy, egg white cookies, sandwiching a thin layer of vanilla buttercream.  On the sweeter side.

Notes: This is a proper macaron, with a crispy outside and light, chewy, disappear-in-your-mouth inside.  Has a pure vanilla flavor and a clean finish.  Plus they are house made daily! 

Overall: If you've never tried a french macaron, this would be a good place to start.

Ghost Chile


Price: about $1.70 each

Size: About 1 inch squared

Description: Ghost chile gananche

Notes: A very unique and strong flavor dances happily on your tongue...and then makes your throat combust into flames.

Overall:  Great flavor, strong heat.  Eat with caution, or if you love heat, eat with glee. Or if you're a heat wimp like me, eat with a fire truck near by.  But definitely eat.
Olive Oil


Price: About $1.75 (prices per box)

Size: About an inch squared.

Description: olive oil ganache, sea salt garnish.

Notes: Very dark, very smooth, soft creamy center, with a subtle olive oil finish playing against the tang of the bitter chocolate.

Overall:  A remarkably light as air center in a dark chocolate shell.  A mild and simple option.

Abeille


Price: About $1.75 (prices per box)

Size: about 1 inch squared

Description: honey ganache

Notes: Bitter chocolate with a very soft creamy center, that sports hints of honey.

Overall: The honey is very subtle and "quick" on the palette,  though you'll be left with a soft chocolate flavor.
Praline


Price: About $1.75 (prices per box)

Size: A little smaller than an inch cubed.

Description: Hazelnut and almond praline.

Notes: A dark chocolate shell encases an almost "mousse" center, highlighted with little sugar crystal crunches and strong hazelnut flavors.

Overall: Possibly the tiniest and most decadent praline you've ever seen.
