Everyone's always amazed when I say that I don't like chocolate. It's not that I don't enjoy really good chocolate now and then, it's that I don't crave chocolate that often and more likely than not I'll go for the non-chocolate option on any dessert menu.

It is surprising, then, that my favorite little gift from M - whether it be birthdays, anniversaries, or (as was the case on Saturday) Valentine's Day - is a little package of Champagne Truffles from Teuscher chocolates. Described as "A delicate milk chocolate shell wrapped around sinfully rich dark chocolate with a heart of French champagne crème," they manage to be simultaneously eye-rollingly rich and light and fizzy. The milk chocolate is creamy and crystalline, and the champagne cream hidden in the center isn't cloyingly sweet (just like good champagne).

In my opinion, they're three bites worth of perfection.
