Non-Seasonal Truffles
Chile-Vanilla: This is the truffle that bites you back. Deep and velvety and just a touch naughty, these truffles have teeth. Made with dark chocolate and a special blend of three ground chiles (an all-natural dose of healthy capsacin and flavanoids), the handcrafted treats are infused with a hint of vanilla and topped with pure, raw cocoa nibs for a crunchy, full finish. Go ahead – take the first bite!
Dark Chocolate: You don’t have to be good with numbers to recognize that this truffle defies probability. Filled with 72% chocolate ganache and dipped in 72% chocolate coating, this truffle is deep, rich, and 100% fantastic. Made with the chocolate purist in mind.
Lavender: Close your eyes. Hold the truffle to your nose and inhale. Now bring it to your mouth, and, slowly, sink your teeth through the layers of chocolate. Do you see sun-kissed, soft-hued fields of gently swaying flowers? The delicate fragrance of lavender has a subtle but truly distinctive flavor. We make Kakao lavender truffles with organic lavender and cover them with thick milk chocolate, and we believe this is the taste of happiness.
Mint with Candied Lemon Peel: Indulge your inner Southern belle. We like to say this truffle is flirtatiously refined. Fair Trade Organic spearmint leaves are infused in cream, sugar and butter, whipped into a luxurious ganache, drenched in semi-sweet chocolate and then adorned with a slice of house-made candied lemon peel for an elegant finish. The refreshing flavor lingers and lingers...
Chai: This is our favorite way to travel: the insistent bite of cardamom, tempered by the steadiness of ginger and the liveliness of premium cinnamon. This magical triumvirate, blended in an organic chai tea mix, are hand-swirled into a creamy ganache, coated with milk chocolate and dusted with more cinnamon. One bite and the flavors melt against your tongue, instantly transporting you to exotic and faraway lands.
Bourbon/Scotch Truffles: You know you want to. When you sink your teeth through the bittersweet layer of chocolate, you’ll find a buttercream ganache spiked with premium whisky waiting inside. We use only small-batch bourbon or single-malt scotch for a dignified taste. Just say yes.
Turkish Coffee with Cardamom: Is it possible to be sinful and soulful? Dark, rich and mysterious, this truffle is too good not to be bad. Locally roasted Fair Trade Organic java and freshly ground cardamom is steeped in decadent cream and sugar, then dipped in semisweet chocolate and topped with a pinch of ground coffee, for a robust flavor with an ever-so-smoky finish. You’ll feel like you’re getting away with something.
Seasonal Truffles
Highlighting the best that each season has to offer, these truffles are a true celebration. Melding rich chocolates, fragrant spices and other signature ingredients, these are the perfect gift – if you can bear to share. Just like the seasons, these special treats are fleeting, so claim them while you can.
French Raspberry Liqueur (Spring): First, a gentle crack, and then the semisweet chocolate coating gives way to an indulgent, vibrantly fruity center. Hand-crafted with an all-natural liqueur made in France for generations, these truffles are pure luxury. If satin were a sensation…
Rose Petal (Spring): Flowers or chocolate? Give her the finest of both! Delicate and fragrant, these silky treats are spun from red rooibus tea and real rose petals. Dipped in Kakao’s milk chocolate and drizzled with creamy white chocolate, when you present her with these it will be love at first bite.
Stout (Fall): Those in the know know: chocolate and beer are the next celebrity couple. Increasingly seen together, Kakao thinks you might as well get them both in one bite. This truffle features Kakao’s semi-sweet ganache infused with Schlafly Brewery’s slightly sweet Oatmeal Stout, for a bold yet harmonious truffle experience. We predict this love will last a lifetime.
Smoke (Fall/Winter): You think you’ve tried it all, but you’ve never had chocolate like this. Bittersweet chocolate and Lapsong Souchong smoked tea come together in an intense, deeply layered flavor. Sparsely sprinkled with smoked sea salt, this truffle is truly unlike anything you’ve ever tasted before. Try one.
Pumpkin (Fall/Winter): Real pumpkin puree, whipped with freshly ground cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, and wrapped in our rich milk chocolate. Each truffle is adorned with a toasted pepita for a touch of crunch. If autumn were made of chocolate, this is how it would taste.
Eggnog (Christmas): This holiday gem is the real deal. Creamy white chocolate spiked with rum, bourbon and a dash of nutmeg, our eggnog truffle lends a new twist to tradition. One bite of this silken treat will fill you with all the warmth of a holiday hearth. We bet you’ll toast to that!
