Sweet Indulgence

A few weeks ago a friend of mine was tired of all the locals griping posting about the weather on Facebook.  To change the subject, she asked people to name their favorite flavor of Godiva truffle.

I told her that I truly wished I could, but had no experience from which to draw an answer.

This week when Lee came home from Bible study, 

he gave this to me, and told me it was from my friend.
(Now seriously, you have to absolutely love a friend
who has this level of commitment to knowing your answer!)

I was in awe!

My very own box of Godiva truffles!

I had to save them until I had a few moments

to properly photograph the flavor testing.

There was:

Chocolate Lava Cake

with rich, dark chocolate, and molten chocolate inside

Red Velvet Cake

creamy chocolate flavor inside,

with the lighter taste of white chocolate coating

Cheesecake

creamy and not too dense,

with milk chocolate coating

complete with tiny graham cracker chunks

Tiramisu

with a surprising mocha flavor

dipped in both milk and white chocolate

the best of both worlds

Carrot Cake

with a rich, cinnamon middle

swirled with a cream cheesy complement

and rolled in pecans

Strawberry Torte

which actually has a hint of rhubarb as well!

Some of them required an extra bite.  Or two.  

The choice of a favorite flavor cannot be made lightly.

I loved them all.  

That mocha tiramisu--yum!  Or was it cheesecake? The scrumptions red velvet?

Surprisingly, in the end, I would never have guessed that I would love chocolate

paired up with CARROT CAKE

better than anything!

Oh my goodness!  Heavenly.
