COMMENTS
- The Panache Orange Mango Habanero Truffle captured all of the flavors and the heat was just right. The Deconstructed Delysia put all of the flavors together in an appealing way.Tandem had the right heat and not too sweet. I feel like one of the three bears: It was just right. Coco Tutti's Adobo sauce was intriguing and engaging.
- "Amano Chocolate Mango Chile was so smooth and delicious with the perfect after heat.
- Sonoma Chocolatiers Mexican Hot Chocolate -subtle delicious kick!"
- Delysia Ancient Spice Trade Routes and the Evolution of Flavor four-piece truffles are very original and wonderful! Panache truffles super luxurious. Sonoma Chocolatiers never disappoint! Baetz, as always, a delight. Coco Tutti continues to perfect their high quality even more. Tandem found a nice balance between spices. Kokak highly innovative, very interesting. ALDI upholds its high standard.
