Truffles are a popular type of chocolate that has a creamy, smooth core filling and tastes luscious.

Our Experience
Orange Milk
This orange flavored truffle has a delightful blend of flavors. It embodies a timeless pairing of orange and chocolate with a soft center filling.
Lemon Dark
Initially, we were apprehensive to try out lemon and chocolate as a combination, but it works beautifully.
This truffle chocolate features a dark chocolate coating on the outside and a creamy yellow-colored center. The gooey center filling, reminiscent of a thick lemon curd, is not only flavorful but also refreshingly fresh which instantly awakens your taste buds.
Coffee Dark
Two beloved ingredients combined in one! We loved the Coffee Filled Dark Chocolate truffle. The combination of dark chocolate and coffee proves to be a great pair, with each flavor complementing the other. The coffee flavor is solid and prominent in every bite.
The hard outer cover with a soft center filling provides a nice contrast of textures. Surprisingly, this does not have any bitter taste. Thumbs up!
Hazelnut Milk
This particular variant seemed to hold a lot of potential. However, the taste doesn’t quite live up to expectations. Although the centre is made of hazelnut paste, it lacks the nuttiness one would expect. The texture is enjoyable, with a combination of a hard outer shell and a soft center filling, but it falls short in delivering a pronounced hazelnut flavor.
Pros
- Perfect for gifting.
- Individually wrapped chocolates.
- Reasonably priced.
- All variants taste delightful.
Cons
- The Hazelnut Milk truffle has a subdued hazelnut flavor which can be improved upon.
