Author’s Note: Not a paid review. I bought these truffles with my own grubby money. I have no affiliation with Lindt<\/a> or Costco<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll repent of my pistachio sins later<\/em>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did I need<\/em> a wholesale-size sack of Lindt Pistachio Truffles? No I did not. Absolutely not.<\/em> But here we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I especially did not<\/em> need to buy this the same week I bought a large bag of Dubai Chocolate Bars<\/a> (here’s my sassy review, if you’re curious). I’m clearly on a pistachio bender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it is hard to tell how much product is actually inside a package. So, I dumped all<\/em> of my truffles out on my kitchen table, so you could fully appreciate the volume. I mean, all of them except<\/em> the two or three I already ate! Ha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, this is a lot. A green ocean of naughtiness. I’ll repent of my pistachio sins later.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The flavor is nutty, with a nod to peanut butter, but more sophisticated. It’s a delicate, but distinct aroma that doesn’t overwhelm the velvety smooth truffle texture. In fact, it’s really the creamy flavors of truffle cream that I taste more than pistachio. Sadly, there are artificial flavors involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all Lindt truffles, the centers are soft and smooth, and they melt seductively on the tongue. There’s no gritty nut texture. Just silky, buttery lushness. I appreciate the neutral (natural) green color here. Rather than an obnoxious neon green hue. You know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(For another creamy nut-butter treat, check out my review of this Hazelnut Crunchy Salted Caramel Bar from Ferrero Rocher<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How sweet are they?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are a tad too sweet for my preference. Not sickeningly sweet. But sweeter than they need to be. It’s probably the milk chocolate shells that tip them over the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I appreciate the crispness of the milk chocolate, but I wish these came in a dark chocolate variety. I am “Team Dark Chocolate” foreverrrr! Still, this is enjoyably flavorful chocolate. The added Barley Malt Powder gives it an extra kick of richness. But there’s also the sort of mind-bending<\/em> (not natural) flavorings you expect from a Lindt candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(For another fancy pistachio treat, check out my review of Sprouts Pistachio Gelato Bombs<\/a>, which are imported from Italy.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
