2011 September: Vegan Chocolates, Who knew they would be so great

Divine Treasures is a chocolate shop specializing in organic Belgian chocolates.
Besides the utter divine nature of the tastes and sensations that come from eating this delectable chocolate
They have a few things that set them apart.
They are Vegan, dairy and gluten free.

Here are just a few of the fantastic chocolate treats.  A little scuffed from the journey.

 I measured them to give a basic scale referance.

 buddha is a new truffle with a fantastic eastern mystic about the filling
The elephant is filled with a nut from Africa. delicious
Next is a white tea extraction that was sublime and sensual.
The indian head is filled with a garam masala style flavor profile, really great.


 The pyamid is called Egyptian Jewel: cardamon, nutmeg and cinnamon with orange peel.  
Pecan Picante is next:cayenne pepper, cinnamon and pecan- really fantastic


 Hot and Smoky caramel is my favorite: chili on the inside and salt on the outside.
Next to that is a heath crunch and a Spanish Turona.
The triangle is a ship and is spiked with a warm rum concoction reminiscent of the Islands

Lastly a Grand Mariner truffle

Overall I tried roughly a third of her total selections and only a few made it home to be photographed.  If you find yourself in or near Manchester Ct. This chocolatier is a must see.
