Telluride Truffles

I’m pretty discerning when it comes to chocolate. I don’t like plain milk chocolate. It has to be special, and usually dark, for me to enjoy it. But I was given a box of 14 truffles (nearly a pound) by the wonderful folks at The Capital Hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas. They couldn’t have given me anything I liked better. These truffles, Telluride Truffles, are without a doubt the best truffles I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating.

The truffles are made fresh with fine Belgian chocolate, organic Colorado cream, and an assortment of fillings. According to the company, the triangular shapes of the truffles “echoes the mountains of Colorado…As you bite into a Telluride Truffle, you may be transported into the heavenly state inspired by the town of Telluride, where some of the tallest peaks reside.”

I’m not sure it transports me to the mountains, but they are heavenly. The prices range from $12 for 3 truffles to $39 for 14 truffles. You can also custom design a box of 7 truffles for $26. These tasty treats include such flavors as: The Spiral of Grand Marnier and Dark Chocolate; The Alpenglow of Cabernet Sauvignon and Bittersweet Chocolate; The Snow Capped with Rum and White and Dark Chocolate; Class 5 with Raspberries and Bittersweet Chocolate; Black Diamond, a blend of Tequila with a touch of Salt and Dark Chocolate; and my very favorite is the Blizzard — a delicious blend of Champagne and Dark Chocolate. Each taste is pure heaven.

You can purchase your truffles online at www.TellurideTruffle.com. They make great gifts, but be sure to get a box for yourself.
