So extraordinary, our chocolate truffles have been featured repeatedly on The Food Network and on Fine Living TV!  But what makes our truffles extraordinary? Each one is handmade and rolled in coarse chocolate to create an extremely creamy and unusually sumptuous chocolate truffle. Because of this unique process, created by founder, Tina Buck, there is no hard, waxy, outer shell to bite through, just pure truffle experience from the very first moment. Their handmade look belies a rich taste and sensuous texture that is unmatched. Our trademark box depicting the flower and foliage of the cacao tree adds to their charm.  It’s complete with a “truffle map” on the inside lid showing just which truffle is which. The box is accented with a matching raffia tie and is finished with a card containing a bit of chocolate lore. Recipients will learn how chocolate truffles got their name, why there is a powerful connection between chocolate and love or what role chocolate has played throughout history. The result of all this hand-work is a beautiful, almost rustic looking gift that is not only wildly delicious, but truly extraordinary!

In fact, Elle magazine named us the “Most Ravishing Online Chocolatier” ! The Detroit News said, “To call The Chocolate Garden’s amazing truffles ‛candy’ would be a huge injustice.” Food writer David Rosengarten called us one of The Great Chocolates and reported: “these truffles are like nothing I’ve ever seen--in France or anywhere else--they are absolutely delicious!” We were even selected to be one of only eight chocolatiers to be listed in the original Purple Book, the definitive guide to exceptional online shopping.

Current Ship Schedule:

Orders Placed Today Will be Shipped Early Week of July 28^th.

As our loyal customers know, The Chocolate Garden’s truffles are handmade by actual human beings and have a "consume by" date. We don’t package them up and wait for you to order because we want you to have the freshest chocolate truffles possible. Because of this attention to freshness and quality, we sometimes can't ship as quickly as a company selling, say, books or CDs (or pre-packaged chocolates).  We also sometimes get backed up, especially after being featured on The Food Network or around holidays! And finally, we only ship early in the week (usually Mondays) to ensure your truffles don’t get stuck somewhere warm over the weekend or a holiday. For more info see shipping. We appreciate your understanding!

“We stopped into your store in early August during a visit to St. Joseph and the SW Michigan wine country. I am originally from SJ, and bring my wife every summer for a long weekend. We saw a billboard for your place along I-94 and got curious. All of our family and friends have heard of your legendary chocolate sine we returned to KY.

You know how there are things in life you recall as 'best of. . . .' experiences? Moments with friends, fine meals, perfect sunsets, etc? Well, the dark chocolate mint truffles stand as the best chocolate we've ever had. We both remember digging into the box as soon as we got into the car after leaving your door. We still talk about the car ride savoring one truffle each, which lasted all the way back to our hotel. Good memories, indeed.”
