I was selected to take part in the BzzCampaign for Pure
Madness. I wasn’t sure what to expect,
other than possible truffles, or a coupon for truffles because I had never
heard of Pure Madness before this invitation.
Upon receiving my package and taking a peak at the nutrition
information – I had to say I was pretty impressed! Gourmet chocolate that is “figure
friendly”? I’m a Weight Watchers member,
and considering I’m not the biggest lover of chocolate (I prefer cake or pizza
over chocolate any day) there are some chocolates that I just walk away from
because it’s not one of my favorites OR they’re just not worth the points plus
value associated to them. Although I do
have my moments where all I want is a piece of chocolate candy and I’m
satisfied. I find that the Pure Madness
truffles are definitely a punch to my sweet tooth and one truffle is more than
enough, even considering the truffles size.
Now by the truffles size, for a comparison I’d say they are
similar to that of a dime. They’re not
big mamma jamma truffles that you can get at some other gourmet chocolate
stores in the mall. These are 1 to 2
bite sized truffles, which come in a variety of different flavors. Some true to truffle flavors, others a “step
to the wild side” for the “daring” (if you will).
Weight Watchers Points Plus wise a serving of 3 truffles is
3 points plus – 1 points plus each truffle. Not a bad deal at all! Whereas it’s 5 points
plus for a 1/3 serving of the chocolate bar.
The box I received contains 9 truffles – which is also
available on the Pure Madness website (http://www.puremadnesschocolate.com/ )
for purchase (a $27 value). The flavors
provided in the box were: Classic (a milk chocolate + creamy milk ganache),
Chili Lime (a dark chocolate + lime + chili pepper), Vanilla (a milk
chocolate + creamy vanilla bean), Sea Salt Caramel (a dark chocolate +
caramel + sea salt), Hazelnut (a milk chocolate + creamy hazelnut),
Raspberry (a dark chocolate + berry ganache), Rum Raisin (a milk
chocolate + rum + raisins), Espresso (a dark chocolate + roasted
coffee ganache), and Dark Classic (a dark chocolate + pure chocolate
ganache).
I also received a solid chocolate bar in the Smoky Almond
flavor. The bar is available on the Pure
Madness website for $8.50. The bar
consists of milk chocolate along with smoked almonds. The flavors balance into
a creamy, slightly salty, smoky goodness.
Overall the chocolates are a definite two thumbs up. They’re tasty, versatile and just overall
delicious. Along with my box I received
a few 15% off Coupon Codes which I can provide to anyone who will use them (and
please only ask for a code if you will use them).
QUESTION:
If you’ve had truffles in the past – what is your favorite
brand?
