Sweet Curry With Saffron
Lusciously mellow with notes of overripe berries, 55% Hawaiian dark chocolate meets its soulmate in sweet curry - awash in spices including coriander, tumeric, cumin and cardamom and sprinkled with rare saffron. This spicy melange is slowly steeped in fresh coconut puree and gently blended with the chocolate. The taste rushes over you in waves - fragrant curry, chased by coconut, then the lingering, raisiny sweetness of chocolate. Available in Chocolatier's Choice and Adventurous Collection.
Machu Picchu
Caramelized cacao nibs, with the bitter hints of the luxurious chocolate it will become, take this truffle to new heights. The nibs are crushed into a ganache of 65% Peruvian chocolate with a light touch of cinnamon and vanilla bean. Gail tops it off with crushed and candied almonds. The interplay of smooth and crunchy make this a warmly indulgent taste trip. Available in Chocolatier's Choice, Adventurous Collection, and Single Origin Collection.
Lemongrass with Ginger
Inspired by Asian cuisine, this fragrant fusion - featuring mild, buttery 70% Venezuelan chocolate - tastes of lemon groves and the steamy tropical sun. Gail infuses dried organic lemongrass into coconut puree with a few generous scoops of sharp ginger pulp. Topped with candied lemon peel and dried safflower, this meeting of East and West has rapidly become a favorite. Available in Chocolatier's Choice, Adventurous Collection, and Single Origin Collection.
Rica Organica
Gail goes to great lengths to secure chocolate from Costa Rica's Upala and Guapiles districts, visiting the farms herself. Once you taste it, you'll know why. It's muscular, with waves of black olive and toast. With chocolate this extraordinary, a few vanilla beans in fresh cream are all that's needed. This silky smooth meltdown will captivate your entranced tongue. Available in Chocolatier's Choice and Adventurous Collection.
Cinnamon/Cayenne
This ancient recipe began the enduring love affair with chocolate - earthy cacao blended with the sweetness of cinnamon and the fire of roasted chilies. Gail uses toasty, nutty 65% Colombian chocolate and a suggestion of cinnamon to lure your taste buds into happy complacency before the heady rush of heat on the finish. It will leave you glowing. Available in Chocolatier's Choice, Adventurous Collection, and Single Origin Collection.
Shiitake Mushroom
The warm earthiness of 65% Peruvian chocolate combines with savory shitake mushrooms in the ultimate expression of umami, the fifth taste sensation. Dried shiitakes, steeped with cream, are folded into the chocolate for a mild, fragrant ganache. Bits of mushroom add a pleasantly chewy texture - a deeply satisfying taste experience. Available in Chocolatier's Choice and Adventurous Collection.
Lucille's Vanilla
For those who prefer milder chocolate, this winsome truffle will ignite a lifelong love affair. Gail uses a dark blend in this recipe handed down through four generations of the Guittard family of chocolate makers. It tastes like a rich spoonful of homemade chocolate pudding - just like Gail's mom, Lucille, made on the stovetop in their family farm's kitchen. Available in Chocolatier's Choice and Classic Collection.
Caramel Sprinkled With Grey Salt
Caramelized sugar and warm cream, mixed in small batches, with a little Madagascar vanilla and a pinch of salt. It's simple. It's magic. Gail dips her caramel in smooth Colombian chocolate and sprinkles on gourmet fleur de sel. Deliciously sweet and salty, it's melt-in-your-mouth, swoon-worthy heaven. Buy just caramels, or available in Chocolatier's Choice and Classic Collection.
Raspberry
Not to be indelicate, but this is a wet, ripely decadent dream. Gail starts with a blend of 36% milk and 65% dark Colombian chocolates, loads up on juicy raspberry puree, and tops it with crunchy, bittersweet cacao nibs. The fresh raspberries burst in your mouth, chased by the chocolate's smooth richness. Available in the Single Origin Collection, Chocolatier's Choice, and Classic Collection.
Espresso
The strong, deep flavors of Ecuadorian Arriba chocolate demand an equally strong flavor companion. Gail uses Just Coffee espresso, made from organic, fair-trade beans here in Madison. Arriba's hint of floral rides lightly atop the earthy espresso and chocolate to fully awaken your taste buds. Available in the Single Origin Collection, Chocolatier's Choice, and Classic Collection.
Cognac
Organic ginger pulp, infused in sweet cream, explodes in your mouth with a delightful zing as it meets the sharp, floral taste of Ecuadorian Arriba chocolate. Rich amber cognac coasts along the top of this flavor fusion, finished by the sweet crunch of Australian baby candied ginger. Go ahead, close your eyes and dissolve into its warmth. Available in the Single Origin Collection, Chocolatier's Choice, and Classic Collection.
Cointreau
Orange and chocolate are a beloved combination. Gail steeps candied orange peel in sweet cream, adding pure essential orange oil from Mountain Rose Herbs and a dash of Cointreau. The dark boldness of Costa Rican chocolate is the perfect mate for this bright, happy fruit. Available in Chocolatier's Choice and Classic Collection.
Blueberry
This joyful dance begins with dried Michigan blueberries, plumped up in sweet cream infused with Rishi's bright Blueberry Rooibos tea. The blueberries and cream coax out the tangy berry notes of 65% Peruvian chocolate. For texture, Gail adds bits of blueberry. Fresh, pure and bountiful. It's summer and chocolate in a rush of giddy flavor. Available in Chocolatier's Choice, Tea-Inspired Collection, and Single Origin Collection.
Jasmine
Gail pairs the delicate flavor of Rishi's Jasmine Tea with the smoothness of 61% Carenero Superior chocolate. This refined chocolate complements the light floral of the jasmine green tea, infused in fresh cream. It's a subtle, elegant taste that reveals itself softly on your tongue. Available in Chocolatier's Choice and Tea-Inspired Collection.
Rose
Rishi's delicate Wild Rose Tea, infused in sweet cream, romances the mild smoothness of Venezuela's Carenero Superior chocolate.

Available in Chocolatier's Choice, Tea-Inspired Collection, and Single Origin Collection.
Earl Grey
Earl Grey is a deliciously complex experience - orange blossom, bergamot, lavender and black tea. When combined with an intricate 70% dark chocolate blend, the distinctive flavors unfold like the themes in a symphony. It reaches a delirious flavor crescendo and then sends you off with a light floral note of organic lavender buds. Lovely. Available in Chocolatier's Choice and Tea-Inspired Collection.
Fig
Fresh mission fig puree, grainy and molasses-sweet, pairs well with naturally sweet, 55% Hawaiian dark chocolate. Gail tops with chopped dried figs for a lightly seedy crunch. Let the huge burst of darkly sun-ripened fruit and smooth chocolate transport you.
