    Raspberry rose truffles are beautiful chocolate truffles with the delicate flavor of roses and tart, tangy raspberries. These candies are a good introduction to floral confections, since the rose flavor is pronounced but not overwhelming, and goes so well with the fruity raspberry.

    How lovely are these meringue rose pops? The subtly rose-scented meringues are sandwiched around rich dark chocolate, so each bite has a mix of crunchy and creamy textures and floral and chocolatey flavors. Try giving your loved ones a bouquet of these instead of traditional roses!

    Lavender milk chocolate truffles pair the mild, smooth taste of milk chocolate with the delicate flavor of lavender. We like the way these look when cut into squares and sprinkled with a pinch of lavender on top, but you can roll them into traditional circles and decorate them however you'd like.
