Telluride Truffles and Other Peak Mountain Experiences
By Madelyn Miller

Some people would walk a mile for a Camel. Others would ski down a mountain to get a great view.

I don’t ski or smoke, but I could gladly travel across the country just for a Telluride Truffle.

Hi, my name is Madelyn, and I could be the founding member of chocoholics anonymous. I am addicted to Chocolate. I have eaten all kinds of things covered in chocolate, seen and tasted chocolate sculptures, sailed on a chocolate cruise, imbibed chocolate drinks prepared by a chocolate historian, and have plans to have my body rubbed in chocolate at a spa. Other things I have done with chocolate go in the adult section, but this is a food story.

When presented with a box of Telluride chocolates, I was overwhelmed. Which delicious one to sample first? I read all of the accompanying literature which described these incredible peak-shaped treasures. Here is a description of what is offered by Telluride Truffles:

Telluride Truffles Fabulous Flavors

Snow Capped: When dark chocolate meets white chocolate – magic occurs. The intensely bitter dark chocolate is offset by the rich white chocolate inside – oh and then there’s the rum. It’s a yin-yang experience.

Rocky Top: Milk chocolate was simply MADE to go with coffee and a bit of Kahlua. Simple perfection. And OK to have in the morning!

First Tracks: Milk chocolate filled infused with Chambord - a blackberry liquor, made by Monks and then enrobed in dark chocolate to slightly lift the sweetness. A bit of heaven.

Valley Cow: A blast of Jack Daniel’s in dark chocolate. INTENSE! And enrobed with a bit of white chocolate to bring you out of the dizziness. Heady stuff.

Spiral: For centuries, dark chocolate has been paired with orange and we humans never get tired of it. This one is infused with Grand Marnier – the ultimate orange liquor.

Powder Day:
Bite into one and it will taste like sweetened cream and then … slightly almond. A white chocolate feast.

Bunny Hill:
Milk chocolate and banana. And I mean REAL banana. If you like banana, you are going to really really like this truffle.

Alpenglow: Because this is high grade bittersweet chocolate – the flavor has many levels. Pair it with Cabernet Sauvignon and you have a symphony. Your mouth just travels around the world.

Class 5: A classic combination – bittersweet chocolate and raspberries. I can’t even explain how good this is. Perfection.

Mud Season: Milk chocolate with pure hazelnut. A very popular combination. Take a bite, savor and … wait. The flavor grows.

The Purist: Pure unadulterated chocolate. No flavorings to get in the way of the beautiful flavor of this chocolate. For the purist in you.

Can you guess which one I chose? Answer is at the bottom of this story. But when it comes to Telluride Truffles, there is no wrong answer

And the answer to the question is: Madelyn’s favorite truffle is the banana-flavor bunny truffle. But she would be happy to repeat this research anytime.
