Intrigue Blog & Chocolate Shop!

As of today, Intrigue Chocolates has over 64 unique chocolate truffle flavors to offer, ranging from the favorites of Saint Basil, Orchid (vanilla bean), Jamaican HOT Chocolate, and Lemon to the more exotic flavors like Tequila-Lime, R. Valentino (rose petal), Italian Sea Salt, and Hibiscus. Unfortunately, we are only able to feature six different flavors that change every month. We call these “seasonal flavors”, and they are offered to our customers in gift box options of set sizes (6pc, 12pc, and 24pc). If the flavor is not a seasonal flavor, it is still available in order quantities of four dozen for each flavor.

Lately we have received a number of requests for flavors we have not offered in a while, and we want to share them with you! In an effort to do so, we have come up with the idea to start the Truffle of the Month Club.

The idea is similar to other monthly club memberships. When you sign up, we will send you featured chocolate truffles at the beginning of every month. With enough people involved in the club we will be able to make those out-of-season flavors in addition to the seasonal flavors, and ship them to you to enjoy.

Before we start offering this club membership we need your help to work out the details! Your feedback will help us design the right subscription package to meet your needs. Please take a few minutes to fill out the Truffle-of-the-Month-Club membership survey.

Thank you for your continued support!

Welcome to the Intrigue Chocolates blog! Intrigue Chocolates Co. was created on September 1st of 2006 by chocolatier Aaron Barthel. He had a vision: create chocolate truffles in the original French tradition. In essence, there are no tempered chocolate shells, no wax, little sugar, and no artificial fats or preservatives. This way the truffles are able to showcase its delicate, creamy flavor without distraction.

We have created this blog as an informal way to showcase past events, feature new truffle flavors, promote upcoming events, and most importantly to thank the many people that taste our specialty chocolate truffles. We will post event pictures; you may even appear in one or two! Feel free to send some our way as well and we’ll try to include them. We will also post “letters from the chocolatier”, sharing tips about making your own truffles and advice on pairing them with food & wine.

This blog is also an opportunity for us to stay in touch with the chocolate-loving community and offer you a forum for honest feedback. We want to hear what you have to say! There are a couple ways to do so. Your first option is to leave a comment attached to any of the blog posts. Simply click on the ‘comments’ link a the bottom of the entry. Your second option is to email us directly at info@intriguechocolates.com. All other contact information is listed on the Contact page.

Thanks!
