Cynics like chocolate, too.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am a cynic. You can’t just put the word “masterpiece” in front of something and make it so! I doubted<\/em> these Godiva Masterpiece Dark Chocolate Ganache truffles were significantly<\/em> better than any other type of chocolates. Tsk. But they were on sale at Costco. So I tried ’em.<\/p>\n\n\n

Shaped like a library step stool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welp. They really are better. Or different. Or something. Even if<\/em> the shape reminds me of a ‘ol school library step stool. Ha ha. (Seriously, why did they pick THIS shape? Now I’m going to salivate every time I walk into a library.)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ganache filling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The “ganache” filling has a rich truffle-like texture. It’s more velvety<\/em> than silky, and denser than a Lindt truffle. Less melty, but with a decadent mouthfeel. It technically DOES contain butter, although there is more palm oil, cocoa butter, and palm kernel oil here. There’s a fudgey consistency that holds a surprisingly firm shape, but melts in my mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bold chocolate flavor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maybe<\/em> Godiva is doing something special with their cocoa processing to get better results. I really couldn’t get over how fantastic the chocolate flavor <\/em>is. It’s a particularly bold cocoa taste, without much else to muddle it. This might partly be from the added<\/em> cocoa butter, along with “breakfast cocoa<\/a>” (a special kind of cocoa powder with high levels of cocoa butter fat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Godiva has<\/em> added potentially controversial “natural flavors<\/a>” to their confection, however. But I still ate ’em!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exterior chocolate coating is crisp, silky smooth, and rich-tasting. It’s very dark chocolate, but not bitter. It has just the right balance of deep cocoa taste with subtle, creamy sweetness. Each chocolate is embossed with Godiva’s signature nekked woman riding a horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lady Godiva Logo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Why<\/em>, you ask? Well, the logo is based on the 11th century story of Lady Godiva<\/a>. According to legend, she rode naked [but covered by her long hair] through the streets of her city to convince her husband to reverse his heavy taxation on poor tenants. It seems odd that this is now an emblem on a luxury chocolate — a brand potentially unattainable to those oppressed by poverty. But, nobody asked meeeee!<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Individually wrapped<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These “masterpieces” are individually wrapped. I know this isn’t<\/em> ideal for the environment. But, as a single person, I really appreciate these wrappers. I eat treats slowly, and I hate feeling like I’m racing against time before something goes stale. This is a big bag. These little dudes deserve to be kept at peak freshness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, slipping a chocolate onto the desk of a worthy co-worker is easier this way. Many peckish office stomachs thank you, Godiva wrappers!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
