With the beginning of Fall we always feel like those first drafts of cooling air bring with them a return to sanity. Behind us for a while are the maddening tropical temperatures of summer. You know it’s true, nothing like a hot summer’s night to bring out the wildness in all of us….. And, hey, that was fun and all. But thank goodness it’s only temporary insanity!
Reassuring as the passing of the seasons, you can always count on Intrigue Chocolates to give you quality, chocolate-y goodness.
Saint Basil Truffle
Saint Basil Truffle -Healing and delicious, fresh organic basil is an herb of the ages.
Peaches & Cream Truffle
Peaches & Cream Truffle – Fresh peaches (and as always the high-grade dairy cream used in most all of our truffles). The epitome of summer-ending-flavors; juice-drippin’-down-your-chin ripeness enhanced by thick creaminess, and a sprinkle of sugar on top.
Utah Basin Salt Truffle
Utah Basin Salt Truffle -Ancient salt deposits harvested from this area have over 30 trace minerals present to give a complex flavor. You know it well, it is salt. Yet this salt, usually pink in color, is utterly unique in the taste it imparts to this truffle.
Tequila-Lime Truffle
Tequila-Lime Truffle -Cazadores Anejo, fresh organic lime zest…Did you know that fine tequila is most properly sipped from a snifter, not “shot”? Made from the agave plant and tempered with a squeeze of lime, tequila in chocolate is a purely original experience.
California Bay Truffle
California Bay Truffle -Pungent, eucalyptus-like aroma and flavor of the this truffle are unmistakable. The California Bay Leaf is not your mother’s bay leaf!
Chipotle Truffle
Chipotle Truffle - Roasted jalapenos make you take notice of this spicy truffle. Smoke-dried chilis are an inspiration of our friends South of the Border. And we thank them!
Embrace the cool weather and celebrate with Intrigue’s September flavors!
Jamaican Hot Chocolate Truffle – The days are getting hotter and so is this truffle, with dark rum, honey, vanilla, nutmeg, and habañero chilis.
Hibiscus – We all want to look younger, especially during the warm months and this truffle made with hibiscus petals just may help you do that. Hibiscus is supposed to make your hair more lustrous and keep it attached! This is just a happy coincidence for us, because we really chose this flavor because of the pattern on Dad’s Hawaiian shirts.
Smokin’ Scotch Truffle – The peaty, smoky Scotch whisky in this truffle tastes of chocolate, a flask, and a campfire. Oh, those summer nights…
Coriander the Great Truffle – Said to have many medicinal powers (diuretic, antioxidant, antibacterial to name a few) coriander is indeed Great! This truffle is made of toasted coriander seed and a drop of honey. Roasted nutty and lemony aromas are anchored by a touch of sweetness.
Orange-Rosemary Truffle – You know beyond doubt that orange is a natural with chocolate. Fresh orange zest and fresh organic rosemary bring bright musky, earthy notes to the chocolate, reminding us of the best men’s cologne.
Jasmine Green Truffle – Flowers used to make jasmine green tea are gathered during the darkness of night when their fragrance is most powerful. Culturally significant all over the world, the jasmine flower symbolizes motherhood in Thailand.
Vrai Chai Truffle – Made with black tea steeped with big, chunky pieces of the real deal: 14 herbs, spices, roots, and fruit. This is not some commercially extracted and flavored powder, or a two-dimensional tea and cardamom rip-off. True to tradition, Intrigue uses a complex blend of black tea, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, orange peel, astragalus (ancient Chinese herbal treatment) , cardamom, coriander, galangal (citrusy/piney/earthy aroma, used as an aphrodisiac in Southeast Asia), gingko (memory enhancer), gotu-kola (improves mental clarity), fo-ti (longevity tonic), nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla beans.
Orchid Truffle – Flavored with real vanilla beans, the Orchid truffle emulates the singular specialness of mothers. The vanilla bean is the fruit of an orchid (Vanilla planifolia), found originally only in Mexico. Vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world, hand harvested from a rare flower that lasts only for one day.
Sweet Raspberry Truffle – Liqueurs are said to be descendant of herbal remedies perfected in ancient monasteries. Raspberries rank high among fruits for their antioxidants, so the raspberry liqueur in these truffles may very well have healing properties!
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.
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!
