Jacques Torres is a chocolate magician. That's right, people, chocolate. Hollaaaaaa! Am I right?
Ok so chocolate makes me a little excited. I grew up eating store bought chocolate from the candy aisle at the grocery store, but now that I'm an adult I've realized it's ok to spend a little more money on the things that matter. Like chocolate. And Jacques Torres is my favorite.
So today I'd like to list my favorite flavors for you and let you know his locations (and I've been to all of them) in case you find yourself in NYC and in dire need of good chocolate.
It's actually really hard to find a list of the chocolates he makes. So I'm going to try and describe a couple as best as I can from memory.
Cappuccino (my favorite) - round and filled with this cappuccino flavored cream that's to die for
Earl Grey chocolate - infused with Earl Grey tea
Lovebug - white chocolate with a taste of key lime
I'm sorry, y'all, my brain isn't working the way I want it to, but I swear to you there are TONS of amazing flavors. Also look for chocolate flavored cheerios and hot chocolate - and if you're there in the summer, their frozen hot chocolate is amazing!

Wow! They not only sound delicious but look so pretty! Coffee and chocolate belong together, I may have to hunt that one down.
ReplyDeleteDo it! You can order from the website, but it's just a random assortment. Still, you won't be disappointed.
DeleteOh wow these look good! Im dairy free so this post is pretty much like torture just so you know haha
ReplyDeleteAww, I'm sorry! Dairy free would be hell for me - that's most of my diet!
DeleteThese are gorgeous chocolates. I love unique, yummy flavors of chocolate. I once had a rosemary grapefruit dark chocolate, I thought it sounded so weird, but it was one of the yummiest chocolates I've ever had. The white chocolate key lime sounds like something I'd like.
ReplyDeleteRosemary grapefruit dark chocolate sounds absolutely amazing.
DeleteDid you honestly have to post that picture of chocolates when I'm on diet?
ReplyDeleteHappy J Day!
Just visiting from a fellow A to Z Challenger and chocoholic.
Maybe just a tiny taste? You're allowed cheat days right? ;-)
DeleteI know my mom is going to love the earl grey chocolate because she's in love with the tea. And I'm just in love with any kind of chocolate, I'll make sure I go. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNo problem!
DeleteOh my gosh, I want to go there right now! Nice chocolate is worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with A to Z!
