beautiful things: teuscher chocolates
Two years ago, while in Chicago on a business trip, I managed to squeeze in some shopping time. I mean, it is Chicago, right? The home of the Magnificent Mile? Shopping is inevitable in Chicago. On that trip, though, I only bought one thing. Chocolates. Teuscher chocolates, to be specific.
I discovered the Teuscher Chocolates store quite by accident, and my taste for specialty chocolates has not been the same since.
Their specialty is the champagne truffle, and it is seriously the most decadent and luxurious truffle I have ever tasted.
The champagne truffle is one that you’ll want to sit and savor. It is not a chocolate that you pop in your mouth while carrying on a conversation or watching television. This truffle demands focus.
If you’re ever in the neighborhood of a Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland store, I highly recommend stopping in and buying some. And then sit for a while and enjoy.
