Chocolate
truffles made by hand, fresh, locally.
Patti's
Handmade Chocolates brings award-winning, luscious, creamy, dark chocolate truffles to Delmarva.
For
each batch, pounds of rich dark chocolate are mixed with butter and local, heavy
cream, then dipped into more molten chocolate. Only the finest, essential ingredients are added to make each flavor.
These truffles delight even the most serious chocolate fans.
Two
of Patti's truffle recipes recently won awards at the 2007 Rehoboth Beach Chocolate Festival. Her Hidden Almond Truffles received Third Prize and her Strawberry Truffles with
balsamic vinegar and black pepper won First Prize for candy in the Professional/Chef competition. Patti's Strawberry
Truffles were then honored with the Grand Prize for the BEST chocolates made by a professional!
The quality of the ingredients
in Patti's truffles lingers in your mouth even after the chocolate
is gone. Some flavors are bold, others deep and subtle, but all complement chocolate’s rich
complexity. Patti uses real food, like freshly ground coffee, fruits and fruit juices,
fine liqueurs, toasted coconut, herbs and spices to flavor her truffles — ingredients you use at home, not industrialized,
processed additives. Local ingredients, like Lewes Dairy cream, butter from Chesapeake Bay Farms in Berlin, Dean's Honey, ripe strawberries picked at Provident Organic Farm in Bivalve and Oakley's Farm and Market in Hebron, blueberries from the Garden of Eden, and even Rehoboth Beach's Dogfish Head Brewery beer, are used whenever possible.
What makes Patti's truffles so special? They are individually crafted and made in small batches by a real person. The natural variations from truffle to truffle and from batch to batch are the signature of artisan workmanship. Chocolates are delivered to you within a week and within miles of their creation here on Maryland's Eastern Shore. You get the finest, freshest truffles available, without having to order from the Internet and without having to pay shipping fees.
Taste the difference. Look at what's in Patti's original dark chocolate truffles: Bittersweet chocolate (cocoa liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, milk fat, soy lecithin, vanilla), cream and butter. Notice
what is not in them: preservatives, artificial flavors, trans fats, or excessive sweeteners. Contrast this to comparably priced, world renowned brand “Gdv” truffles: Bittersweet chocolate (sugar, chocolate, cocoa butter, cocoa, butter oil, soya lecithin–an emulsifier, milk, vanillin–an artificial flavoring, natural flavoring), butter, corn syrup, sugar, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk [milk, sugar], partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, cocoa butter, natural flavoring, chocolate, salt, invertase, soya lecithin. Like many good things, they don't last long. Patti's truffles are made fresh with no preservatives and are best when eaten within 2 weeks of purchase, unless they are refrigerated. Many find them gone long before then! The
personal touch makes your gift unique. Creative packaging distinguishes these chocolates from
the ordinary. Clear lids allow the truffles’ visual impact
to enhance their wonderful flavors. Distinctive glass and ceramic dishes offer an environmentally
friendly, renewable, reusable, and recyclable package that looks tasteful, yet homemade.
