I finished some Godiva Gold Ballotin from Valentines and bascially I ate them like the biggest glutton on Earth:icon_cool, they were tasty. I think the stuff I like is ganaches, not too sure, but I am here to find out. Now I plan to buy some more and it seems turffles are more popular, can anyone tell me what is the actual difference between the two? Espeically what's inside, I love the texture of ganaches after you bite into them... or maybe they are truffles. I remembered the taste but now what they looked like lol. I was going to try them both, but I am only willing to spend the money on one box since Godiva isn't cheap. They do have a combo box but it includes some of the stuff I do not like since it includes everything from carmales, to ganahces to truffles and much more. My plan is to find out what I like and buy a box with those things only. Maybe I'm a bit addicted now... so what type of chocolate do you guys like? I think this is what I had, seems both truffles and ganaches if you haven't had these, you must give them a try.
the ganache is the texture(filling), a truffle is the vehicle/shape/size. best thing you can do is go to godiva and pick out stuff from their counter alacarte. i know there's a godiva in the lenox/phipps area and there is one mall of ga. and yes, they are outfuckingrageous (in taste and cost) but i can't help myself either
