JUDGES NOTES


JUDGES' FAVORITES

  • Michael's Pistachio Cardamon
  • Michael's Pistachio Cardamom truffle. It was a beautiful, shiny green and the two predominant ingredients came through the silky ganache identifiably and deliciously.
  • I also especially liked Panache's Classic Cocktails selection. Each was distinctively flavored and they would make a fun finish for a dinner or favor for a party
  • CocoTutti's Strawberry Balsamic
  • Flying noir's poetry & prose
  • Panache classic cocktail, Flying noir
  • Chocolate Fetish Raspberry

 


JUDGES' COMMENTS

  • Temper & Mo's mood rings were amazing. Beautiful and delicious.. Michael's Chocolates -always expanding into amazing flavors. Flying Noirs notes and chocolates are amazing. Great variety, beauty, and taste. You can really taste CocoTutti's jam in the truffle. Homemade is best.
  • To Beth's, CocoTutti, Flying Noir, Michael's and Temper & Mo: I love that the rich flavor of the truffles delivers on the experience that their lovely exteriors promise.
