Duets by The Madelaine Chocolate Company

Last week, I was contacted on behalf of The Madelaine Chocolate Company to sample and review a new product - double-filled chocolate truffles known as Duets. Not wanting to miss this opportunity, of course I said yes.



A few days later, my package arrived. Inside, I found a cute little gift box ready to be opened, full of wonderfully-wrapped truffles ready to be eaten. There are four flavors - white and chocolate truffle, peanut butter and raspberry, peanut butter and caramel, and white chocolate and raspberry. The wrappers are conveniently color coded so you know which ones are which without reading. That can come in handy if you're grabbing one on-the-go and don't have time to read the little print.



The Madelaine Chocolate Company says on its site that "duets are the first double-filled chocolate truffles." They are perfect for any special occassion because they are elegantly wrapped to make the chocolate look and feel extra special.



The first one I tried was the white and chocolate truffle. Can't go wrong with double the chocolate, right? Next was peanut butter and raspberry. Tastes like a PB&J because the raspberry is more of a jam. The white chocolate and raspberry tastes like, well, white chocolate raspberry jam while the peanut butter and caramel tastes like a caramelly peanut butter cup. The PB and caramel is my favorite out of the bunch.

I would definitely recommend buying these truffles, whether as a casual snack for your candy bowl (which will empty rather quickly) or as a special gift. You can buy the Duets online or at most Wal Marts. Target doesn't have them yet, but I know the "fancy chocolate aisle" is going to be reset soon. Usually that means new products are introduced along with bringing back the best sellers. Maybe Duets will make it on the new planogram.
