Truffle Macro Monday

IMG_7266

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.

YUM!

They were delicious! I did share too. :0)

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

    If they taste as good as they look then they are probably worth it, Lisa! But I would savour each one slooooooowly. :))

    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.

    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.

    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. :)
