Weight: .65 oz. (18.4 g.) for 2 pieces (estimate)
Calories: 97.5 calories (estimate)

Purchased from: Luca Chocolate via Foodzie.com site
These two pieces made up the last of three items in the Luca Chocolate "bacon box" assortment. They were tasty; however, I was a little unsure about whether these were bourbon and black pepper truffles, as I tasted neither bourbon nor black pepper. (My favorite item in this bacon box assortment was the chocolate dipped bacon - which was excellent.)
Hats off to chocolatiers who have mastered the art of flavoring chocolate. Too much can overpower and render an item inedible, and not enough can be frustrating. And there is such a fine line between the two.
In 2006, my daughter bet I couldn't eat a different chocolate each day for a year. I enjoyed that year so much that, after 18+ years, I'm still eating a different chocolate every day. Happily, even after 6,600+ chocolates, there are still many more to try. Thank you to chocolate makers everywhere, and to all who continue to be part of this global adventure.
