Starbucks Espresso Truffles

"Intense, indulgent dark chocolate delights infused with our bold Espresso Roast coffee"







Compared to the chai variety, the espresso truffles were much better. I enjoyed the strong espresso roast flavor. I've had better dark chocolate, though; it reminded me of hard shell chocolate used for ice cream.

I probably would not buy these again, as they are very rich tasting. Half of one piece was more than enough for me. I would recommend these as stocking stuffers for a coffee lover.

Starbucks Chai Truffles

"Creamy milk chocolate invitations to linger with sweetly spiced Tazo Chai black tea"







Each box of Starbucks Chai Truffles came with two good sized pieces. The Tazo chai smell reminded me of Kobuk Coffee, my favorite shop in Anchorage. The milk chocolate was smooth and creamy. But the filling was terrible. It was like eating a mouthful of flowery soap.

I had really high hopes for the Starbucks Chai Truffles, since I have enjoyed many other Starbucks products. What a huge disappointment.

*ETA:
Yumsugar had a detailed review of the many flavors.
