After looking around at all my options I went with the Peanut Butter Puck, the Sesame Nougat and the Seasonal Carrot Cake Truffle.
I have to say the Peanut Butter Cup was the only disappointment of the the three. Honestly, I felt like the milk chocolate wasn't sweet enough and the peanut butter wasn't salty enough.
But I did enjoy the Sesame Nougat! Although I feel it was more of a chewy brittle that the fluffier nougats I'm used to. The main flavors in this we're definitely the rich dark chocolate and sweetness of the caramalized "nougat".
The Carrot Cake was definitely the most unique and ended up being my favorite. It contained a layer of carrot jelly and a layer of a spiced chocolate ganache, all enticed in white chocolate.

Read moreAt Recchiuti Confections, chocolate is an obsession. And here are mine:
Fleur de sel - the chewy caramel with sea salt folded in and dipped in dark - it's great for those times of the month Bergamot Tea - spot on with the Earl Gray Tea infusion Tarragon Grapefruit - for the foodie in me Cassis Strata - the pates de fruit cassis dipped in dark chocolate Smore's Bites (sorry folks, only available May thru October! I'm dying -- the Smore's Kits just don't do it like fully chocolate dipped smore's!) Kona Coffee - this chunk of choco is so dense I had it for breakfast one morning Burnt Caramel Almonds - chocolatey, salty, crunchy, addictive Key Lime Apples - surprisingly yummy and crisp Passion Fruit Pates de Fruit - almost better than eating the real thing Sesame Nougat - chocolate with sesame "nougat" (more like brittle) - it's like eating the candy of my childhood with a...
Read moreAs it was recommended by others, we got the Black Box. Before you even tasted the chocolate, you could smell the strong chocolate aroma. Definitely intoxicating.
My favorite piece out of the entire box was the Burnt Caramel. It's the one in a rectangular shape. Outside is white chocolate filled with the burnt caramel. It was so unique and delicious. Heavy caramel taste without the feeling of excessive sugar. You could taste the "burntness" in a good way. Didn't taste bitter or ruin the chocolate experience. This is definitely the place to go to get a gift for chocolate lovers.
When you walk into the store, the staff is really helpful and friendly. They make their own chocolate in house and you can definitely taste test!!
I would come here again and definitely recommend...
