Amber maple syrup from our old buddy Allen West’s sugarbush in Amery, Wisconsin; mall-batch butter made for us by Homestead Creamery in Wirtz, Virginia. Combined with a blend of dark and milk chocolates, the sublimely smooth ganache center is then covered with milk chocolate and crystals of red alderwood-smoked sea salt. It’s like Sunday breakfast, embodied in a truffle!

We encourage you to taste in at least two bites. Notice as your first impression gives way to a more complete picture. Close your eyes and inhale deeply. Coat your whole mouth with chocolate, and exhale through your nose to fully release the aromatics. Some of the flavors unfold in layers, with the finish lasting long after you’ve taken a bite.
