Mini Review: Truffle Pig Milk Chocolate Bar
Didn't expect to see this when I stopped in at Wild Oats this past weekend. I like to go there just in case something new and interesting has shown up on the shelf and - lucky me - they got Hagensborg Chocolate Truffle Pig bars! I grabbed the milk chocolate bar which is a nice thick ganache log coated in milk chocolate. That much I was able to figure out from the name. What I didn't expect was the bar's appearance. It's got pigs on!
I'm as big a sucker for gimmicky products as I am for chocolate and chocolate with a gimmick is just great! The pigs are cute (and hard to photograph) and the chocolate is good. It's not the ganache you get in a fresh, high end truffle, but it is nice and tasty. It certainly didn't last long. It didn't leave much more impression with me than the fact that it was good and cute. I prefer dark chocolate most of the time, but this was good enough that I'm going to give another Truffle Pig a try. A solid 7.5 out of 10 (and I'm resisting the temptation to give bonus piggy points).

It's made by Hagensborg in Vancouver, B.C. I've found them here in Canada at London Drugs and the local organic stores. Sadly, they only sell them here in Canada - if you'd like to know more, the website is:

The owner of this chocolate company has ruined my family life. I don't recommend these chocolates based on the golden rule!

I just love the concept of a princess fairy theme. My favourite's ones are the peanut butter and the orange pig bars. As for a great gimmick idea they should consider using a donkey = jackass!
