Xox Truffles Inc

Small, intense, and expensive. Their smallest takeout container costs about $8. It's a good value compared to other local truffles, but it doesn't seem like it when you're at the cash register! I do love that they have vegan flavors, and I can deal with the fact that my favorite flavors sell out quickly every freakin' day, but for some reason XOX's truffles don't really float my boat. I'm a dedicated chocolate-lover and... I feel a little weird saying this, but... XOX's truffles are just too strong for me. They make me feel sort of drunk. I swear I'm not getting that from eating the cognac ones. But they're tasty and a very popular gift. The one thing that really makes me sad about them is that all the truffles look basically the same, so getting more than one kind in the same container makes picking out the ones you want very difficult. more
