Choco Pod Tasting with The Wine Mom

Recently I tasted some chocolates that would go perfectly at your next tasting event. They are Choco Pods from Chuao Chocolatier.  These chocolates are filled with enticing flavors that will heighten any wine tasting experience. My husband and I tasted these chocolates over the course of a few days with some red wine we had on hand. However, we enjoyed the chocolates so much that we didn’t have any wine until we finished. Below are the Choco Pods that we experienced.

Banana Choco Pod – brown sugar caramel
I thought this chocolate tasted like Bananas Foster or Flambé sauce inside. The chocolate itself is very smooth. My husband liked the milk chocolate and this was his favorite Choco Pod.

Candela Choco Pod – spicy macademia praline
This has a nice balance of smooth dark chocolate with an almost crystal praline crunch. You are left with a lingering dark chocolate flavor.

Passion Choco Pod – passion fruit caramel
This chocolate has a very bold passion fruit flavor but is balanced nicely with the dark chocolate. If you love passion fruit, this is a must try.

Modena Choco Pod – strawberry balsamic caramel
This complex dark chocolate tastes extraordinary with the strawberry balsamic flavor.

Picante Choco Pod – spicy Cabernet caramel
This was my favorite chocolate. I loved the mix of dark chocolate and clear Cabernet flavor. You are left with a lingering spicy finish which is unexpected, but leaves you wanting to try more.

I recommend these delicious Choco Pods if you are going to bring dessert or if you are attending any kind of tasting party. They will generate discussion and there are multiple flavors to experience in each chocolate.

Chuao Chocolatier has numerous chocolate products including vegan, milk free, and hot chocolates. They are priced in line with specialty, boutique chocolates. You can order online and visit them at stores in California and Miami.
