If Heaven came down to earth in the form of a candy, it would be called the Lindor Truffle. Every little bit of this treat is pleasing to the taste buds. Rolled up in a round ball of chocolaty goodness, Lindor Truffles may very well be the best ball of milk chocolate ever made. Once you put the ball in you mouth, you are introduced to a taste that is unequaled by any other candy. First, there is a thick chocolate coating that your teeth have to bust through before you can get to the other piece of goodness. The outer shell is almost as good as what’s inside, which is a delicious glob of creamy nougat.

I know…sounds awesome, right?

But it’s even better than it sounds. The nougat is chocolate, too. This candy is just chock-full of chocolate that you won’t be able to resist after you eat one. Even if you’ve never had one, the candy will call your name if you’re just looking at it in the store. What chocolate lover can resist something called a “chocolate truffle??? Those two words together are like music to any desert-lover’s ears. The buttery texture of the truffle awaiting on the inside makes you want to eat the whole box. Because of the amount of sugar and calories in each Lindor Truffle, these are treats that are best left for a “once in a while?? desert. Maybe you can use them as a means of celebration or reward. But with their awesome taste, you will want to celebrate and reward yourself as often as you can. The packaging of each individual treat lends itself to a gift-like desert. The shiny foil wrapped around the spherical candy is fun to unwrap which only makes it harder to resist. Once a Lindor Truffle is in your hand, it is futile to even try to resist its temptations.

Chocolate truffles are a favorite desert treat all over the world and have been since their creation in the 1980s. Each culture has a different way that they prepare truffles, but one thing is consistent among the cultural creations – creamy goodness. You will not be disappointed with Lindt’s variation, either. The company produces several different flavors for their chocolates and truffles, including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, hazelnut, and so on.

I have seen these oddly-shaped packages in the stores, but I never thought about trying one. One of the allures of a Toblerone, though, is the packaging. Instead of a traditional candy bar wrapper, Toblerones come in long, slender triangular cardboard package. It definitely stands out from the candies surrounding it on the shelf. Even more, the lettering on the box is raised. If you run your finger across it, you can feel the letters that spell out “Toblerone.??? The color scheme is also interesting. A yellow box with maroon lettering immediately draws your attention away from the normal candy bars around it. The quality of the packaging is indicative of what you will find inside. I opened one end and pulled the candy bar out, which was wrapped in typical candy bar foil for freshness and quality. The actual candy bar is made up of little chocolate triangles that are held together by a strip of chocolate which seems to replicate the mountain scenery of the Switzerland mountain ranges. Part of the fun of eating a Toblerone is that you can break off a triangle at a time to eat it.

The taste of Toblerones is as high of a quality as you would expect from candy made in Switzerland. First, the chocolate is tasty. It’s got a different taste than the normal chocolate candy bars that I am used to eating. It could be because of the honey and almonds on the inside. I like the combination of chocolate and almonds, so this was a pleasant surprise. I normally don’t like to read the ingredients before trying a new candy so I can be hit with the flavor without expectations. But I can safely say the Toblerone greatly exceeded what I expected with the honey and nougat mixed into the chocolate pieces. The almonds and honey are not overwhelming, leaving the chocolate to be the main focus.

Since Toblerones are made in Switzerland with Swiss milk chocolate, you can be sure that each candy bar is made with the best quality products available. According to their website, they are made with the best of ingredients that are imported from all over the world.

You know the name. You have come to depend on its power. On its ability to make you weak in the knees. It has dominated the chocolate confection world for decades. It’s the raw power that can move mountains and stop wars. To make the angels in heaven stop in their tracks. It was the gift from the divine powers above to the little creatures that inhabit this planet. This could only be one thing. It is, Hershey! Hershey has been around longer than any other candy manufacturing name in the world. It has outlasted every other competitor and struck them down with a mighty blow! It has given you the milk chocolate collaborations that take everything the past had to offer and thrown it in the idea machine and come out with some of the most amazing candy bars we as miniscule consumers have used in our every holiday from new years to Christmas. It is in every store in every shop in every home in the world. This is the magnitude of the name Hershey. It has stamped it’s name in the history books and refuses to stop giving us new ideas and creations.

For example here is the  Hershey’s Raspberries ‘N’ Crème. Not only do you have the rich milk chocolate perfected over the decades of practice, but you’ve have got their white chocolate (which is perfection to say the least. I am more of a white chocolate person anyway so this is two times the treat) and they have mixed it with raspberries. Now these are not artificial raspberries, this contains “real raspberry fruit bits??? and they are not joking when they say this. I have had to pick out a couple of raspberries out of my teeth, only to put it back in my mouth. I know it’s gross, but I love it. I love every creation Hershey has to offer to us. They are my favorite, hands down, the best chocolate candy bar manufacturing company in the world. All hail the greatness of Hershey! I am not worthy of your awesome power. I have already consumed the entire Hershey’s Raspberries ‘N’ Crème bar that I opened before writing this blog about it. I couldn’t help it, and the bad part is I WANT MORE! I could eat more. But I don’t know if it’s smart. You see what it does to me, I’m going crazy!
