I fear I'm turning into a choco-holic. Mariella Balbi has created the most excruciatingly wonderful chocolate truffles in town. They simply melt in your mouth and have the most playful blends of tropical fruits, spices and flavors. Some even include a spicy hint of chile that give them that extra spark. Others include exotic fruits, many of which I have never encountered in person, that provide delicate hints of tropical flavor. Mariella also has vegan chocolates that are butter free and, while a tad firmer, have a very rich chocolate flavor that lasts.
All are free of the chemical additives found in so many commercial chocolates. In fact, Mariella explained that many of us potential choco-holics that have refrained from chocolate due to alergic reactions and other sensitivities are actually being affected by the chemical additives in most commercial chocolate and that many of these same persons have turned out to be perfectly fine when eating additive-free chocolate. Add in Mariella's warm and welcoming personality and you have a truly winning combination! You can find Mariella and the Guanni Chocolates booth every Sunday at the Hillcrest farmer's market in San Diego or order your chocolates online at www.guannichocolates.com.
