Our Current Christmas Crush? Delysia Chocolatier
Truth: Christmas was never a "chocolate holiday," like Easter or Valentine's. Why should it be, when buttery cookies, pies and Bûche de Noël await? But after one bite of American-made Christmas chocolatier Delysia's new Christmas truffles, we're changing our (holiday) tune.
The Austin, Texas-based brand recently sent samples of their Winter Collection Chocolate Truffles and Santa Collection Chocolate Truffles to our Colorado HQ. And honestly, they're divine enough to knock Mr. Claus off his post-Christmas calorie goal. Even better: with their painterly decorations, they're an exquisite addition to your Christmas tea parties and stolen moments of self-care. (They make excellent adornments to our American-made Christmas Holly Jolly Cocktail Swizzle Sticks—see below). Our favorites among the American-made Christmas truffles:
The Hot Cocoa Chocolate Truffle: There is something vaguely reminiscent of Christmasses past in this chocolate, in the best possible way. It's nostalgic and warm, like mulled wine.
The Eggnog Truffle: Divine. But we’ve always been Nog girls. A whiff of rum makes it feel extra sinful.
The Candy Cane Chocolate Truffle: The Christmas Bark dreams are made of, reborn in an effortlessly chic bite-sized form.
Even better than the taste? Knowing that these American-made Christmas chocolates by Delsyia are made of ethically sourced cacao and as many local ingredients as possible.
Aspen Grange, home of American-made Christmas decorations and American-made baking supplies, is building the most Christmassy place on the internet.
