If you are looking for something a little more refined than marshmallow peeps and hollow chocolate bunnies this Easter season, Vosges Haut-Chocolat has released a Green Truffle Collection which showcases flavors inspired from Japan, India, Thailand and Malaysia. Included in each box is a mixture of:Kayoko - Japanese green tea, white chocolate and cherry blossom
Kaffir - Thai kaffir, coconut and dark chocolate
Ellateria - Indian cardamom, dark chocolate and white poppy seeds
Buddha's Leaf - Malaysian pandan leaves, dark chocolate and cocoa powder
As I'm sure you can imagine, exotic flavors such as these come at a lofty price. According to their website, a box of 16 pieces (as pictured above) sells for $41.
As we have seen before, mixing unique flavors is nothing new for this company. In fact, according to their mission statement, Vosges' goal is "to create a luxury chocolate experience rooted in a sensory journey of bringing about awareness to indigenous cultures through the exploration of spices, herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, nuts, chocolate and the obscure." Mission accomplished, I would say.
