Taste Test Tuesday: Nutcracker "Sweet" Holiday Chocolates

Moonstruck's Holiday Line Will Amaze Your Eyes and Your Taste Buds!

When it comes to creative chocolate making I expect a lot from the Moonstruck Chocolate Company (I've written about them before). They didn't disappoint this holiday season.

You see yesterday was one of the worst days I've had in a long time (several long stories) but what a difference a day makes because today...my Moonstruck holiday box arrived!

Oh my gosh...how adorable is everything. I took a picture of the nutcracker sweet box opened on a velvety red fabric just so I could blog about it! So far I've tried half of the eggnog truffle and half of the gingerbread cupcake truffle and life is suddenly amazing. It took me halfway through tasting the gingerbread cupcake truffle to realize the play in words (nutcracker "sweet"). Get it? Of course you did.

You see the gift box is designed to be a book, called The Nutcracker Sweet that you open up. Inside you find 15 assorted beautiful chocolates (yes, chocolate can be beautiful), many related to the nutcracker ballet story theme like:
  • a hazelnut praline truffle shaped like a nutcracker

  • a bittersweet truffle shaped like a Christmas tree

  • two truffles shaped like a Christmas present - one in white chocolate and one in milk chocolate

  • a cranberry truffle shaped like a snowman

  • a coconut truffle in the shape of a snowball

Now, this is one holiday "story" I'll be reading every day for the next 7 days (LOL).

Two of my other favorite gifts are the 6 piece Polar Critter Collection (penguin, polar bear, snow owl, arctic hare, igloo and a seal) and the Holiday Cupcake Truffle Collection. To check out their holiday line for yourself, go to moonstruckchocolate.com.
