Introducing Truffle Truffle’s "I Heart Chicago" Collection

By Sarah Freeman

If a box of chocolates is good, then a box of chocolates decorated to resemble the Chicago flag is better. Today, chocolatier Truffle Truffle released their limited edition I <3 Chicago collectable tin to honor their hometown. The collection pays homage to artisans with flavors inspired by local businesses.
The first chocolate, the Southport cupcake truffle, is already a hit at Southport Grocery & Café. It's a white chocolate shell filled with a vanilla cupcake and frosting center.

Snow cone syrup may not be a go-to ingredient for the local gourmet, but Jo Snow’s syrup is the exception. Made with fresh herbs, exotic spices and natural extracts, their syrups enhance cocktails, coffee, soda, snow cones and now a truffle. The Jo Snow’s root beer float truffle is filled with root beer syrup and covered in white chocolate ganache.

With the proud title of Chicago’s first craft distillery since prohibition, Koval makes small-batch spirits from organic ingredients using sustainable practices. They provide the special ingredient in the last truffle, Koval’s chrysanthemum honey liquor truffle.

Try one of each for $6 or the 12-piece collection presented in a tin with the Chicago skyline for $12.
