Lindor (Lindt) Truffles - the essence of pure chocolatey goodness. My personal favorites are the Extra Dark Chocolate & the Dark Chocolate Peppermint; each comes with a firm outer shell of chocolate (what else?), with a gooey filling of... more chocolate, which seems to be richer and more fatty. YUM.
Here are the flavors that these truffles come in - with the wrapper color in parantheses: Milk Chocolate (red), Dark Chocolate (blue), White Chocolate (yellow), Extra Dark (black), Peanut Butter (orange), Hazelnut (brown), Stracciatella (light blue wrapper - mainly white chocolate, with dark pieces of chocolate; kind of like a cookies-n-cream type flavor), Raspberry (pink), Dark Chocolate Peppermint (green), and a variety of "Seasonal Flavors."
I don't know if it's possible to have chocolate this good. But Lindt is, quite honestly, chocolate at its finest - and their recipe, of course, is a secret. In the summer of 2007, by which time I was already hooked on these amazing pieces of goodness, I went with my family to Switzerland (the 1845 origin of Lindt), hoping to go to a chocolate factory and, with all the luck in the world, figure out how to make these beauties. Lindt, however, had stopped offering tours of their factory (trip to Switzerland thereby deemed a failure) - so they evidently want to keep us both fat and in the dark.
Lindt's slogan for their truffles: "Do you dream in chocolate?" After eating one of these... most definitely. I dream in silky-smooth, completely pure, perfectly sweet [LINDT] chocolate. Available at your local supermarket.
