Eight new truffle flavours at Choklat were released on Saturday March 5th. Choklat’s truffles are made to order and made with no preservatives so must be eaten within two weeks.
I recently had their key lime truffle filling dipped in milk chocolate and rolled in graham crackers. I loved it the first time but most recently found the filling to be lacking punch, especially when compared to the zingy and tart vodka, passion fruit and lime chocolate I had in Bruges from The Chocolate Line. Hopefully Choklat’s new flavours are livelier.
After months of testing, the new truffle fillings are:
- Fresh peppermint (grown by owner Brad Churchill)
- Cream cheese
- Hot diggity (spicy)
- Baileys Irish Cream
- Disaronno Amaretto
- Ice Wine
- Drambuie
- Ginger Snap
Half of the list is made up of liqueur fillings which is nothing to complain about! The new flavours mean that Choklat can boast about having 450 possible combinations of custom chocolate truffles.
Just note that their truffle centres are cream-based and not ganache nor melt-in-your mouth like Lindt chocolates (they invented conching, the method of making chocolate super silky smooth),
Still. Must. Go. Empty piggy bank(s). Or be really nice to someone.
I’ll stick with robbing the pigster.
Enjoy

I’ll be in Bruges in a month so I’ll have to check out the Chocolate Line!
I highly recommend The Chocolate Line! The lime chocolate stands out in my mind, though they specialize in gastronomic chocolate all around. They definitely stand out amongst the dozens of chocolate shops there as being unique and award-winning. I hope you have an awesome trip!
hmmmmmm, truffles; I think I’m gonna pick some up this weekend. Thanks for the article.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the new flavours. Hope you enjoy!
