If you didn't win my Lindt truffle bag giveaway, which ended this AM, you still have time to pick up Lindt's signature chocolate truffles for yourself or to give as a gift this Valentine's Day.  I was recently sent the following heart shaped boxes filled with Lindor truffles to sample with my family, and had a blast with our in-house taste of the different truffle flavors:

If you have not had the chance to try Lindt Chocolate and love chocolate truffles, now is the best time to try these rich and delicious truffles.  Out of the two heart-shaped boxes filled with truffles from Lindt, I have to say our family loved the Gourmet Truffles Heart box, which was filled with doubled dipped chocolate truffles.  Without reading the booklet included in the box, which told us what each truffle was -- either milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, hazelnut, and vanilla -- we opted to simply pick one and try to determine the flavor as we savored each and every bite of the truffle.  This was the fun part of the review.  Even the girls got in on the fun, as seen in the photo above.  

Lindt truffles never last more than a day in our house, and the same held true with these two samples that were sent to review.  By the end of day, both heart-shaped truffle boxes were empty, and all that was left were happy bellies, and a couple of wired girls (me included) :-)  But, what a blast we had sampling these tasty chocolate truffles.  And, when I finally tossed the boxes, I told my husband that he would have to buy boxes or bags of Lindt chocolate truffles come the holidays, for each of his three girls to enjoy. :-)
