Michaels chocolates continues to make outstanding bonbons. Coco Tutti wows me time and again.

The level of the quality of chocolates was extremely high. I had to put my mind and senses into overtime to come up with the top three. Fourth place was frequently just barely behind third place. I enjoyed the Dilly Lemon from All Star Dips and I could see it as a dip for chips but I could not compare it to the chocolates. Michael's Lemon just melts in my mouth and I found that to be the best single truffle I enjoyed. Close runner ups included Alexander's Passion Fruit, David Bacco's Captivé, William Dean's Passion Fruit and Socola's Blood Orange. The Smoked Burbon brittle from Mojo was fun to sample. I did enjoy the mushroom jerky, but I was unsure how to evaluate it. New product or just a great snack. it was something I had never experienced before. The molé had a nice kick to it. The various toffees were all delicious. I like R and J. The ebony and Ivory Fookie fudge would make a great cake for a child's birthday. It was extremely rich and dense.

Elyse of CocoTutti has an amazing palate and a very inventive imagination that she puts together for fantastic chocolates.
