Get used to unique finds in the Texas Hill Country: Welcome to Fredericksburg, Texas! I’ve just found the ultimate gift for Mom — a dream come true for your matriarch anyday. You’ll encounter all kinds of chocolate at Chocolat off Main Street, but not just any chocolate…
These spectacular confections have a liquid center — and are filled with vodka, wine and other popular spirits. They also make non-alcoholic offerings as well. Chocolat is the only chocolatière in the entire nation to produce this type of product! Edible gems unlike anything you’ve had before.
Not only did their creator, Lecia Duke, design the capsule that holds the liquid intact (to prevent any co-mingling with the chocolate), she also designed the equipment necessary to manufacture these chocolates. How cool!
The real difference in her product lies in a thin sugar shell that separates the liquid from the chocolate; fragile jewels of liquid, allowing both parts to remain pristine in taste.
We sampled a few of Chocolat’s standouts, like Lecia’s Double Chocolate Flavored Vodka, her Bourbon Tender (which holds 10-year old handmade batch bourbon inside) and the Raspberry Wine, made from real red raspberries.
These guys aren’t necessarily a diet buster either…at max they contain 28 calories per piece, along with 2.8 grams of sugar. There’s a certain approach to eating these, which Lecia fills us in on in our short video. Ideally you want to place entire piece in mouth, warm it up, and once it crushes and you suck the chocolate off, the center “pops” and the liquid is released.
The best seller to date is their Tequila Rose: a pink creamed tequila liqueur that’s been going strong since 2012. To shop online today, CLICK HERE to get started!
