Wife wanted something sweet so we walked over to Camden Dr. and checked to see if Teuscher was open. She got a chocolate dipped marzipan mini bar. I got a dark chocolate with chili pepper bar. This bar has quite a kick. I liked it. Made my mouth happy. 5 bucks for a few ounce bar but worth the price for the taste bud tango. I would like to tell you about the marzipan but it was gone in a flash. I think that says it all. Mon Aug 09 23:18:07 -0700 2004 0 Just Larry 1 331098 Have you tried Teuscher's champagne truffles? Not shabby. Tue Aug 10 01:09:49 -0700 2004 331077 0 Dave Feldman 2 331133 I have--oh my!!!!! This is my standard 'extra' gift to people when I want to congratulate them on something. Tue Aug 10 11:49:25 -0700 2004 331098 0 Cat'sChow 2 331276 I will on my next visit. What makes them so special? Tue Aug 10 22:17:52 -0700 2004 331098 0 Just Larry 2 331301 Hard to describe, but Teuscher's champagne truffles tend to somehow be simultaneously richly decadent and balanced and restrained at the same time. Like Cat'sChow, I use them as a gift, and they "work" every time. Wed Aug 11 00:34:28 -0700 2004 331098 0 Dave Feldman 3 331327 I agree. The Teuscher champagne truffles are some of the best chocolate truffles available in LA. Also, their gift boxes, with elaborate paper flowers, etc., make for a great presentation. Wed Aug 11 12:35:31 -0700 2004 331301 0 David Kahn 4 331353 not to mention it's just such a pretty store to walk into, it feels like an escape from parts of the outside world that are harsh and coarse... Wed Aug 11 14:15:39 -0700 2004 331327 0 jcwla 5 331366 and for those who can't make it to the store, they have a website: Link: http://www.teuscherUSA.com Wed Aug 11 16:07:49 -0700 2004 331353 0 teuscher 6 331444 And don't forget the new dark chocolate champagned truffle. Even more delicous. Wed Aug 11 22:57:14 -0700 2004 331366 0 JudiAU
