Welcome to Chocolate, Fruit and Botanicals Month on Chocolate Banquet.*

Today's (vegan) Brandy Truffle from The Xocolate Bar (Berkeley, CA) was shaped like a pretty cluster of lustrous, purple grapes. But, the booze-infused chocolate ganache (chocolate filling) had a serious brandy kick to it—great for adult palettes.

*This month, instead of 7+-day theme weeks, I'm featuring several shorter series of chocolates mixed with fruit flavors, such as orange, grapes, goji berries, etc. And in a few weeks, I'm looking forward to a series of chocolates/bars with some herbal botanical inclusions (fennel, anise and absinthe, palo santo, etc.). Chocolate is nothing if not versatile.
