Clear Creek Pear Brandy Truffle

I'm still working from my chocolate stash from a vacation day trip to Portland earlier this month. While visiting one of Moonstruck's (smaller) Portland locations in a mall, I found out that the company has expanded to other states, including: California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Virginia and New Jersey. So, I may be stopping by their San Francisco (Marina area) store to try a few other truffles, and also to try their chocolate "animals." (Stay tuned for chocolate animal theme week later this year.)
