I have known my buddy Frank for a few years now. We connected on LinkedIn and have crossed paths a few times since. Frank is a pharmacist by trade and collector of antique apothecary items by hobby. My first job out of college was at Watkins Inc., a 150-year-old apothecary located in Winona, Minnesota, and the museum held some old products that used cannabis before prohibition. It was easy to bond over.
I was blessed with a deliciously wonderful care package filled with some exceptional canna-treats. These were not your ordinary run-of-the-mill edibles. No, my friends, these were true delicatessen confectionery. As a matter of fact, they’ve won awards for their work.
Thankfully, my wife likes her treats infused just as much as I do. We waited to put our little peanut to bed and broke out the goodies – we didn’t want her to even catch a glimpse of these sweet medicated treats. We knew she would want one, and we’d be forced to dig into the frozen custard stash (I’d say ice-cream, but I’m from Wisconsin and we do frozen custard here). With the house quiet, we were ready to dig in. Bon appétit!
Blissful Connections Gourmet Infused Chocolates Product Review
Raspberry Truffle 25mg
I was greeted with a lovely chocolate dome approximately the size of a ping pong ball, which was drizzled with some additional chocolate and a dash of sparkling sugar to top the truffle off.
Inside the delicate shell was a deliciously creamy, soft, tender chocolate center. I am a raspberry fan and was delighted to taste a well-balanced, but still flavorful couple of bites. There was a clean, natural raspberry flavor that blended perfectly with the rich chocolate flavor. The sugar crystals add a nice little crunch for a bit of texture.
The delicious aftertaste had me wondering if the samples were uninfused, but the positive medicinal effects kicked in shortly after and spoke otherwise.
Cappuccino Truffle 5mg
White chocolate shell with a dusting of cappuccino sprinkled on top. Soft and creamy chocolate center that melts in your mouth. Very minimal cannabis flavor or aftertaste. Delicious little morsel.
Coconut Almond Delight 25mg
If you like Almond Joys, then you’ll really like the Coconut Almond Delight. Much more flavor. Higher quality chocolate. I get it if you don’t like coconut, but this one is a must if you do! Four small bites or two large ones to polish this gem off.
Sea Salt Caramel 25 mg
Chocolate-covered homemade Caramel with a nice crunch of sea salt on top. This one had that old school ganja Butter flavor that carried over into the Caramel. I enjoy the nice, subtle cannabis flavor this one imparts.
