Truffle Bars from Godiva are currently available in chocolate and orange ice-cream inspired flavors. This fact came in very handy as today was Day #3 of Chocolate and Orange Theme Week. 

I decided to sample these two Godiva bars with a small taste of The Macallan 12-year old single malt scotch whiskey. Sample sips were available on the show floor at BlogWorld Expo (Las Vegas). I recommend trying both scotch and chocolate(s) separately first, to be able to fully appreciate each. However, as far as combining the two -- the Godiva vanilla-filled dark chocolate Truffle bar paired particularly well with the scotch.

Note: Due to travel this week, photo posts will be delayed.
