When I was about 10 I was introduced the first time to
Godiva Chocolates. I remember my mom and I were in a fancy department store, and they were selling them in a huge glass case
My mom took me over there, and let me pick out my 2 favorites. One was dark chocolate with pink on top, and the other was a milk chocolate with a cocoa powder dusting. I have been a fan ever since. My Birthday and Christmas list always includes a box of Godiva, and I always get them.
Now that my boys are getting a little older and have matured tastes, I knew it was just the right time to introduce them. We were sent several boxes of the new "Truffle-Flights" to sample.
This fall, GODIVA Chocolatier introduces the first-ever
Truffle Flights™ collection,
an indulgent new tasting experience where every truffle tells a
distinct story. With six unique flights featuring a mix of GODIVA's new
and most beloved truffles, the collection creates a memorable taste
journey that lingers long after the chocolate has deliciously
disappeared. Each flight features six hand selected truffles that are
placed in order for the ideal tasting experience. Much like you would
taste a wine flight, tasting a GODIVA Truffle flight is a progressive
exploration of flavors, textures and aromas. Each box offers a
deliciously rich taste journey, with a beginning, middle and end that
consistently unveils new surprises, experiences and sensations.
The six Truffle Flight Collections include:
-
Nut Lovers Truffle Flight: Salted Almond, Hazelnut Crunch, Pecan Caramel, Butterscotch Walnut, Maple Walnut, Pistachio.

I wanted the boys to pick the flavors they wanted to sample, so Riley picked the Birthday Cake Truffle, from the Cake Truffle Flight Collection.
The center was creamy, white chocolate and Birthday cake flavored while just outside of that was a melt-in-your-mouth milk chocolate, topped with a white (pink) chocolate coating and sprinkles.
Riley LOVED it, and I did too..since he and I cut it in half and shared it!
Xander chose to try the Chocolate Lava Cake from the Ultimate Dessert Truffle Flight Collection.
This one was beyond good. It has a dark chocolate shell surrounded by dark and milk chocolate goodness on the inside. I love how half of it was solid, and half was not, in true Lava Cake respect.
You can purchase Godiva Truffle Flights online
here, or in stores (my nearest location is at the mall!) for about $16.00 a box.
