So much to celebrate in December!
Truffles, and Christmas, and Chanukah, and Kwanzaa: all excellent reasons to get excited for the season. How lucky we are to have a month so filled with human diversity and with celebrations from so many histories. No matter what our backgrounds, we have joyous traditions of coming together to eat good food and appreciate each other. Perfect timing to recognize two more very important days this month:
- Human Rights Day, December 10: A day to reflect on how important respect for basic human rights is for all people.
- International Human Solidarity Day, December 20: Remembering that it will take all of us working together to alleviate world poverty.
These feel like the right sentiments as we at Intrigue Chocolates realize our own gratitude for friends, loved ones, the comfort of warm and dry shelter, and the hope for a better world.
With December upon us we are happy to announce this month’s featured truffle flavors and hope you will make them part of your traditional celebrations. All these flavors are available in gift boxes through our online Chocolate Shop!
Rumple Minze Truffle – A new flavor this month, this combination of mint schnapps and chocolate seems like a natural for the Holidays!
Orange Spice Truffle – Orange and chocolate belong together, and this special “holiday blend” of fresh orange zest, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves is delightful.
Nutmeg Truffle – This one evokes many fond memories of winter dishes and holiday cheer, warm and cozy wishes of eggnog and pie…
YoHoHo Rum Truffle – Dark Chocolate, dark rum, and vanilla. Almost like a classic Christmas “rum ball”, but better!
Jamaican Hot Chocolate Truffle – Intrigue’s signature flavor of dark rum, honey, vanilla, nutmeg, and a wee touch of habanero heat is the gift that just keeps giving!
Saint Basil Truffle – Saint Basil (379 C.E.) was an advocate for the poor and oppressed. Let the taste of this earthy, green truffle remind us again that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights” (Universal Declaration of Human Rights).
