~Lavender-Honey Truffle from Arrowhead Chocolates – Order online for a box of 12 – just $18.
A new addition to Arrowhead’s tasty chocolate truffle dossier, Bruce’s innovation continues to awe and impress with his new Lavender-Honey dark chocolate (milk chocolate is available as well) truffle. “Honey-sweetened cream ganache infused with lavender buds forms the center of this delicate and delicious truffle.” This past weekend, I picked up my regular favorites, but tried this new creation, only to set my taste-buds into giggles and lovely fits.  I order ten more to take home and I am slowly savoring one each evening.
