J is for Jacques Torres


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!

  1. Wow! They not only sound delicious but look so pretty! Coffee and chocolate belong together, I may have to hunt that one down.

    1. Do it! You can order from the website, but it's just a random assortment. Still, you won't be disappointed.

  3. These 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.
