Duets Double-filled Chocolate Truffles!!

Adam ate this on April 14, 2010

Ben: I’ll admit I’m not a huge chocolate guy. Maybe it was some bad experiences early in life with that gross crumbly, super dry, rice-crispy filled variety, I don’t know. But these were quite good. They’re certainly a higher-quality – the packaging, the chocolate itself, the fillings, whole bit. And you know, its a truffle, so the “I-feel-like-an-aristocratic” level while eating these is a bit higher with these.

Adam: Unlike Ben I welcome and embrace any and all snacks of the chocolate realm. Probably due to my childhood of having a summer home in the Wonka factory and fond memories of snorkeling in the chocolate river amongst the gummy seaweed. Ah, to be young again….

Favorite from the 4 different varieties?

Ben: I have to go with the peanut butter and carmel combo. A simple combo I know, but it was super rich – and whatever, I’m a simple guy.

Adam: I’m going with the raspberry peanut butter on this one. At first when I saw that combo I laughed and was like “what genius came up with that bizarre flavor?” But upon tasting one I retracted every negative thought I ever had. It’s like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but replace the bread with the milkiest of chocolate. In fact a loaf of milk chocolate bread isn’t that bad of an idea….

Napkin needed?

Ben: If you’re like me and try and bite it in half, then yeah – but maybe I shouldn’t have done that with the raspberry and white truffle. I mean, yeah they are liquid centers. Might need to clean laptop after this.

Adam: Any time I hear the word truffle it automatically makes me think of a specially trained pig out in the wilderness finding mushrooms. Which makes me think “hey maybe I will need a napkin because of the dirt and general grossness of a pig” But these are truffles in the amazing chocolate filled with amazingness non-napkin if you eat them right kind of way. I left mine in the fridge a few days and then pop the whole thing in my mouth. Full flavor and no mess. That is how you snack. BOOM!

Stand-alone snack or with something else?

Ben: This is “high-brow snacking” and you know how we love to really create a mental image here at Snak Snak. It’s a truffle for goodness sake – so I’d pair it with the leather-scented library room at the Snak Snak HQ, a smoking robe, maybe even a monocle, a nice 700 year old brandy you know, some of those purple slippers with your initials embroidered on the top. Too much?

Adam: The weirdest thing about Ben’s answer is that the “leathery scented library room” is actually mahogany. I’d say everything else is spot on though. I might pair it with a few bottles of Dalmore 62 Single Highland Malt also though. I’m actually going to go eat a few of these on our HQ deck right now. It overlooks Mount Doom. I dropped a toe ring in there last week and have been having the darndest luck getting it back.
