From left to right: Chai Tea, LoveBug, Love Potion #9
The Chai Tea had milk chocolate ganache with Indian spiced tea. It had a strange sweetness to it and I was hoping for more cinnamon or allspice or cloves flavor. I didn't care for this one. LoveBug had key lime ganache with white chocolate. I'm not sure that key lime would have worked with dark or milk chocolate. The white chocolate made a lot of sense, even to a girl who is a white-chocolate-non-believer. Love Potion #9 was Jacques Torres' secret recipe of pure dark chocolate ganache. Intriguing...
I want to mention the Hot Chocolate, too. Real hot chocolate has chocolate melted into it, not cocoa powder. Nothing else should be allowed to carry the title. To me, this Hot Chocolate was perfect; rich and creamy and exceptionally thick. Next time, I plan to try the Wicked Hot Chocolate with spices and hot peppers.
