<p style="text-align: justify;">Mister Ganache also sells whole truffles in jars, Marky&#8217;s Caviar, a variety of European and South American chocolates, imported teas, beautiful gift baskets, and a lot of other colorful &amp; crinkly packages that you know you don&#8217;t need, but want to swipe for either <span style="color: #000000;">way!  I wasn&#8217;t there for packaged chocolate that night &#8211; I went straight for the glass case of beautifully designed Eric Girerd haute couture chocolates!!  Gilles offers different size boxes of chocolates and I chose a box of 4.  The hard part was choosing only 4!  Finally decided on <em>Sensual, </em>a dark chocolate and rasberry chocolate(because I can&#8217;t say no to my favorite fruit), a coconut truffle, a wasabi infused chocolate, and a lovely [Veuve Cliquot]champagne truffle (<strong>side note</strong> &#8211; if you haven&#8217;t already &#8211; all professional women should read <em><a href="http://mireilleguiliano.com/section/sub/12" target="_blank">Women, Work and the Art of Savoir Faire: Business Sense and Sensibility</a> -</em>by Mireille Guiliano, former CEO of Veuve Cliquot &#8211; she is an absolute inspiration)!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">The raspberry chocolate was a lovely balance of bold dark chocolate and rich raspberry sexiness, but to be fair, there aren&#8217;t many things involving chocolate and raspberry that I don&#8217;t fall in love with instantly.  The wasabi infused chocolate didn&#8217;t have the massive wasabi kick in the cheek that I think I was expecting, but still an interesting blend of spice and sweet.  The coconut truffle was delicious and the champagne truffle was so light that it danced on my tongue while the ganache slowly melted!  Alright &#8211; I&#8217;m obviously lying about the slowly part&#8230; they were <strong><em>so</em></strong> good that I had to remind myself to slow down and enjoy!</span></p>

<p>Mister Ganache also features macarons from <a href="http://lovelydazedesserts.bigcartel.com/category/parisian-macarons" target="_blank">Lovely Daze Desserts</a> in Miami.  I chose a little cellophane bag with four maracons &#8211; passion fruit, espresso, raspberry (of course) and chocolate.  They were very well made &#8211; egg shell crust with great texture inside and beautiful feet.  The layer of confiture/ganache could have been a bit thicker (this is coming from a girl who wishes they made triple stuffed oreos) &#8211; but other than that&#8230; they were fantastic. </div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #000000;">All around awesome visit to Mister Ganache &#8211; they have locations in Paris and NYC as well &#8211; definitely plan a visit soon!</span></p>
