    Lagusta’s Luscious Bluestocking BonBons make a Delicious Statement

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on October 7, 2018 Dairy-Free Chocolate Reviews, Product Reviews

    Lagusta’s wide variety of organic vegan truffles have always been a favorite of mine. Sadly, they were only produced in limited batches at select times of the year. But as word got around about how fabulous (and affordable!) these chocolates were, Lagusta began producing regularly! Later she was inspired to come out with a whole new line of confections … Bluestocking Bonbons.

    Now the truffles are back to being seasonal treat, but Lagusta’s Luscious Bluestocking Bonbons have joined her growing collection of year round treats.

    Tasting Notes for Lagusta’s Luscious Bluestocking Bonbons

    The Bluestocking Bonbons are organic, handmade, exotic, and incredibly satisfying. Anyone looking for a truly enriching chocolate experience, vegan or not, need not look any further than Lagusta’s Luscious. Honestly, I’m not sure how she dreams up these flavor combinations and somehow gets them to work harmoniously. Even the nostalgic peanut butter cups and peppermint patties have a grown-up, rustic appeal and lack that over-sugared aftertaste.

    Also worth mentioning, these are insanely gift worthy. Note the adorable origami-style boxes adorned with detailed writing and sealed with a tasteful Lagusta’s Luscious stamp. But enough about the packaging, let’s discuss those chocolates, shall we …

    Furious Vulvas

    These are a sweet, savory, and salty delight. Definitely intended for a more mature palate, someone who savors dark chocolate, loves the contrast of sea salt crystals, and the complexity of peppercorns. I have a newfound love of salted chocolate and was smitten by these raging delights.

    Vandana Shivas

    Neatly arranged with three per paper cup, these elongated mini mountains were sweet, soft, and a touch crumbly. Words like addictive, enticing, gritty, romantic and spicy were first to come to mind as I savored the flavor. The first taste was sweet, but some spice crept in, gradually rising to a peppery heat. It wasn’t overpowering, but the spice was definitely there.

    Though I thought it was chilis in these chocolates, it was actually Maui vanilla beans and Mexican cinnamon. The complexity of this bonbon made it my favorite.

    Selma’s Peppermint Patties

    Cutting into the Peppermint Patty, I was expecting a cream. But I was pleasantly greeted with a true “peppermint patty” interior with an all-natural touch.

    The mint and chocolate strike the perfect balance in these after-dinner treats. The mint is cool and refreshing, while the dark chocolate is warm and comforting. So many peppermint treats have an overwhelming mint bite, but these are delicate and delicious.

    Pauline Benjamin’s PB Cups

    These are are truly artisanal peanut butter cups.

    The thick dark chocolate enrobes a rustic peanut butter center. The center is made with freshly ground organic peanuts. They’re sweet and indulgent, but a much more flavorful experience than Reese’s!

    I love how unique each variety is. These are quite grown up – not like See’s candies in the slightest. They’re dark, rustic, and full flavored.
