SINFULLY DELICIOUS

Step into any chocolatier’s domain and you’ll find a wide selection of truffles and Belgian chocolates — each chocolatier claiming unique flavours and delectable textures. However this Event Planner stumbled upon the garden-of-Eden of divine chocolate — Adam and Eve Chocolatier.

Nestled in a quaint storefront on Maitland Street in the Church Street Village, (97 Maitland Street, Toronto, Ontario) this European chocolate shop and barista-style café is home to some of the most innovative products — perfect for any wedding, corporate or social function.

Belgians are, by nature, extremely selective about their food and cuisine and chocolate is no exception. Belgium-born Donna Young expresses this passion and quality by applying this dedication and meticulousness to her products at Adam and Eve Chocolatier for over 35 years.

Adam and Eve Chocolatier houses over 26 flavours of truffles, many of which are exceptionally unique (not to mention heavenly in taste). Some of our favourite distinctive flavours include:

o Banana Split
o Lemon
o Ice Wine (using Ontario Grapes)
o Cassis (Black Currant)
o Black Forest Kirsch

Yet truffles and Belgian chocolates are not the only sinful delights provided. Step into this chocolatier’s kingdom and you’ll be swooning over her many one-of-a-kind products that will treat your guests to an enlightening experience including:

o “Pink Flamingoes” (Belgian Truffle nestled in Ballpark Cotton Candy)
o Swiss Style Chocolate Almonds
o Belgian Chocolate Orange Peel Strips
o Chocolate covered sunflower seeds
o Fresh Australian Ginger (dipped in Belgian Chocolate and Strawberries misted with Cognac then dipped in Belgian Milk Chocolate and dusted with fine cocoa)

And for those who are Diabetic, Adam and Eve Chocolatier carries milk and dark Belgian chocolate pieces that contain Maltitol, a natural sweetener found in wheat, and taste as delicious as any other chocolate on hand.

Truffles are currently priced at $2 each or $4 for a pair with the option of a corporate discount for orders over $500. Considering their originality, the price is well worth the taste. And the truffles come wrapped in foil, placed in black duet boxes (cylindrical helix shape) and tied off with a ribbon that co-ordinates with your colour theme. (Although they can certainly be purchased without the boxes as well). The best part yet? Adam and Eve offer taste testing!
