A visit to the Coco-luxe Boutique revealed the new flavor of the month, the Filbert Truffle! (For those that don’t know, filberts are the same thing as hazelnuts.)
I immediately snapped a photo…these truffles look so delicious with the filbert pressed carefully into the top.
We Americans tend not to grow up with the taste of hazelnuts. It is, however, a quintessential European flavor, coming in all sorts of chocolate bars with hazelnut, truffles with hazelnut, hazelnut wafer cookies, and the ever-popular Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread.
So if you happened to be born in Europe, RUSH YOURSELF over to the Coco-luxe Boutique for a taste of home, but with local freshness! Coco-luxe makes all their candies in the Bay Area, and they’re served very fresh at the Coco-luxe Boutique.
And for all of us non-Euros too, it is a great time to enjoy the wonderful filbert flavor, which eases us so perfectly into fall with its rich nutty sweetness. I ate my Filbert hazelnut truffles after dinner with a cognac, but they’re wonderful with coffee or cocoa as well. 
Coco-luxe’s Filbert Truffle has a whipped hazelnut ganache filling, enrobed in dark dark chocolate, and garnished with one perfect filbert. They are available only in the Coco-luxe Boutique at 1673 Haight Street (@ Cole). They’ll be gone by Thanksgiving so try the delicious Filbert Truffle soon!
