Truffle Macro Monday

We were on a side road near Madison one day when I saw a chocolatier sign fly by the window - of course I made Dennis turn around. The building was set off the road a bit and we were the only car on the parking lot. We entered the door and found a single glass counter showcasing 3 different size truffle boxes. We could look through a window and see a man making truffles and that's pretty much all that was there. We bought a small box - it was like $15 for 9 truffles - boy I hope they're good.

Classy packaging - they sure are proud of their "C". Even the handles on the door were C's.  You can order online if you're curious - but you cannot choose which flavors you get.

  7. My goodness those are fantastic images. I think I'll want to try them all. Oops...I'll bet they are all gone.
    BTW: I just posted a blue flower and noticed that we might have all the flower colors at the rate we're going.

  8. Huh, I get to be mystified about the comments section! I have no idea how things post exactly. I would blame all the drooling I'm doing on the keyboard. Especially for the beautiful ginger chocolate piece. I love how they look like little pieces of amber. I can almost smell the chocolates from here.

  12. Truffles are truly a weakness for me. I would have turned around to get some as well. A friend made homemade ones for me this week. It has taken all my self control to not eat them all in one sitting. :)

  27. I fear for some damaged keyboards because of too many watering mouths ! You could make ads !

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yes, these are surely the photo-style that ad companies want! But I want the chocs...and I'm not a choc-lover.
