A valentine for God
Affairs truffles are not mere chocolates. They are handcrafted chocolate shells filled with the finest real chocolate, fresh heavy cream and luxurious sweet butter. Some are laced with a liqueur, others with nuts, fruit, or fine vanilla.
The one pictured is milk chocolate and peppermint schnapps -- dubbed 'Mint Rainier' -- but there's a whole tasty selection. I'm particularly enamored by the milk chocolate, Kahlua and espresso blend in a dark chocolate shell, even though they're almost $3 apiece.

Wow. Rum-soaked apricots with white chocolate? Even my GF would go for that... *Why* didn't you post this before Valentine's? :-D

the title of this makes no sense and is offensive

I took the title to mean that these candies would be worthy to give to God h{im/er}self.
Does it make sense now?

I thought it meant that if you're gay and you don't have anyone around, you just order up a batch of these for god. He's always around and he's easy (ie he puts out).

Wow, somebody is easily offended.
Man, those truffles sound delicious, and I'm not somebody who usually eats chocolate.

I just ordered a box, an assortment. They just sound too delicious. $28 for ten plus shipping is expensive for chocolate but I'll be taking the edge off while enjoying it so maybe its a bargain.
I also ordered a box of their turtles too, but did not see any laced with alcohol.

Can anyone say if these are better than Godiva truffles? I love truffles.
All I said was that this fish is good enough for Jehovah

Are godiva truffles alcoholic? :) If not, I'm going to have to give the nod to these...

Some of them are, they have Gran Marnier, and perhaps a few others. Bad chocolate sometimes can't even be saved by alcohol, but these ones look pretty good.
here is a link for everyones enjoyment.

Yum. As if truffles aren't the best. Along with 85% cocoa Michel Cluizel chocolate from Paris.
There's a -fantastic- chocolate shop in Melbourne in that arcade with giant statues of Gog and Magog.
The truffles are so deliciously fresh and so cheap (comparatively).
