Our November chocolate truffle flavors have been chosen with the homey and comforting thoughts of Thanksgiving gatherings in mind. These are warm flavors that are evocative of spending time with the people (and foods) that matter to you. All of these flavors are available at the Chocolate Shop.
Rooibos Truffle – Also known as African Red Bush (Aspalathus linearis), this ancient curative has been used as a healing infusion and is high in cell-protecting antioxidants. Grown only in South Africa, rooibos is naturally sweet and gives a nutty-smoky taste with a touch of tartness.
Saint Basil Truffle – Using fresh organic basil (Ocimum basilicum) as always, giving a hint of clove-like flavor, this ancient symbol of love has been cultivated in the middle-east for 5,000 years. 
Jamaican Hot Chocolate Truffle - Rum, honey, vanilla, nutmeg and habanero chili. Aaron’s very first truffle creation, and still one of our most popular truffles.
Pie R Round Truffle -This will remind you of grandma’s kitchen, with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice rolling around together you’ll remember your childhood and good things baking.
Cacao Truffle – Not a misspelling of cocoa, but rather where it comes from. Cacao, or Theobroma cacao, is the plant from which all things chocolate come. Its inclusion here in the form of organic fair-trade cacao nibs, along with white rum, adds extra chocolate top-notes to an already dark chocolate.
Orange You Glad Truffle – All jokes aside, fresh orange zest and dark rum will make you glad to eat this truffle!

Hey, that title is not a very flattering description of Aaron, Intrigue’s chocolatier. Then again, it may be an accurate description–if you call creative genius madness! Aaron was pleased to chat with folks from his alma mater, St. John’s University (SJU), in an interview about his success with Intrigue Chocolates Co. St. John’s Magazine’s Glenda Burgeson seemed delighted to feature Aaron in her article entitled “
Blueberry Truffle – *New* Made with organic blueberry juice, this one is a salute to the fading days of summer and berry-picking in the hot sun.
Apfelkorn Truffle – *New* We call it apple schnapps, the Germans (they invented it) call this liqueur apfelkorn. These truffles are reminiscent of the crisp days that lead up to apple harvest-time, with a touch of honey to bring out the tangy sweetness.
Saint Basil Truffle – Made with fresh, organic basil leaves, this truffle is always a mainstay. If you’ve tried it, you know how good it is, and if you haven’t, you will be surprised at the taste of growing planty-greenness you’ll get.
Peppercorn Truffle – Fresh-cracked peppercorns remind us of a late summer evening where the heat fades as the dark comes into the sky.
California Bay Truffle – Karl says that this one “tastes just like driving along the California coast”. The organic California bay leaves (Umbellularia californica) that go into this truffle grow on trees that line the coastal highway and if you can taste a driving memory, this one is lush with eucalyptus-like intensity.
