FAVORITES

Baetz Chocolates Mango Monument. I love the shape, look and flavor. But I also love mango, so that skewed it a lot. I also loved the MFG Toffee and Bark Company Breton Salted Caramel Latte.

QUOTABLE COMMENTS FROM JUDGES

The MFG Toffee and Bark Company Breton Salted Caramel Latte is excellent and would be ideal for any coffee lover. The Delysia White Peach Balsamic Chocolate Truffle was just the right amount of peach and white chocolate, balancing each other out.
Al ChocoLat Boutique's Lemon Cheesecake and Karabeej both brought bold, complex flavors that were greater than the sum of their ingredients.
Bates chocolates were beautiful. Too pretty to eat! All of the Delysias were outstanding!
MFG Toffee & Bark-salt & sweet. Stellas were just the right amount of acid and sweet.
All of the Delysia presentation were extravagantly beautiful and delicious. Stella's Citron Blanc opened up some new tasty flavor combinations. The aL chocoLat Boutique Karate was light and fluffy. The MFG Toffee and Bark was strategically salty,
Al ChocoLat is pure perfection from taste and texture to the amazingly artful look. Stella's Citron Blanc is delicate and delightful, no overwhelming notes, just right. Delysia very pleasantly surprised this time. No excessive spiciness, just mild sweetness and depth of flavor. Robinson found a right combination of ingredients with that hazelnut espresso. Good job!
add fruits + nuts eg. walnuts or pecans! or macademia nuts

INDIVIDUAL JUDGES' RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHOCOLATIERS

I would suggest Delysia consider thinking about using marketing inserts that are perhaps less breast forward.
I would suggest that Panache go a little lighter on the sugar and the vanilla which seem to mute the other flavors.
All I can say is that these were taste bud delights.
Every aL chocolat Boutique piece was a delight: Beautiful, interesting, and delicious
White chocolate is challenging. Keep experimenting, it's all coming up to a delicious result.
Citrus orange enrobed in white chocolate or lemon or grapefruit or mango dipped in white chocolate… yummy!
