As a card-carrying member of the Godiva Chocolate Rewards Club<\/a>, I am morally obligated to stop into my local Godiva shop each month for my free piece of chocolate. It’s a burden, but how can I refuse? I love chocolate, and it’s even better when it’s free. I also get a monthly catalog which attempts to entice me into purchasing more chocolate… which I rarely do. <\/p>\n

Last month the catalog featured their new “Baked Dessert” truffles<\/em> – along with a $15 coupon. I ripped it out and headed straight to Godiva. Some of the flavors sounded better than others to me, so I was hoping to purchase individual truffles. But they only had them in a 6 truffle, boxed box collection that day – for, as luck would have it, $15. <\/p>\n

\"\"Tiramisu<\/em>: meh
\nStrawberry Tart<\/em>: meh
\nCheesecake<\/em>: OK, but nothing special.
\nCarrot Cake<\/em>: Pretty good, didn’t love it.
\nChocolate Lava Cake<\/em>: Now you’re talking. This was delicious.
\nRed Velvet Cake<\/em>: MMMMMMM. I’ve been back for another.<\/p>\n

\"\"A couple of weeks later I stopped by my local Hallmark store where they happen to sell individual Hazelnut Lindor Truffles <\/em>(most stores don’t carry that variety, which is my favorite)<\/em>. I bought two – and enjoyed them both before I even made it home. <\/p>\n

These little chocolate balls just melt into creamy chocolaty goodness in my mouth – and I am forced to wonder if the $2.50+ Godiva truffles are really that much better than the .45 Lindt truffles… <\/p>\n

Certainly the Godiva truffles are more artistic. But do I enjoy them more??? <\/em> <\/p>\n

I think not. I’ll enjoy my monthly free piece of Godiva, and save my money for Lindt. Or Boehem or Seattle Chocolate’s Mint Truffles.<\/p>\n
