Today was Day #5 of Chocolate and Fall Flavors Theme Week, and I tried two more chocolates from the Flavors of Fall Collection from Moonstruck Chocolatier/Moonstruck Chocolate Co. (based in Portland, OR).

I'm very fond of almonds in all forms, and I enjoyed Moonstruck's Harvest Almond Praline Truffle (multi-colored leaf shape). This chocolate combined a touch of almond praline, ground almonds and a whole roasted almond in the middle.

The Pecan Pie truffle sounded and looked like a tiny chocolate mousse on the outside. I was a little puzzled by the center, which was fluffy, white and sweet. I think I was expecting something resembling pecan pie filling.
