Pure Imagination Chocolatier
Last Saturday I took my usual trip to North Market in search of some new things to try. This time I ended up purchasing some of the awesome and very unique truffles that Pure Imagination Chocolatier makes. There have been many times that I’ve walked by the Pure Imagination Chocolatier booth in North Market and was really impressed by the chocolates they offer. But only today did I give them a try and I can say that the fantastic design of the truffles matches the delicious flavors.
The first of the five truffles that I purchased was the Cappuccino Truffle. The Cappuccino Truffle has a very creamy filling within the chocolate walls with cappuccino mix sprinkled across the top. If you’re a coffee or cappuccino fan then this truffle will probably be perfect for you.
Next is the Honey Au Chocolat Truffle. This particular truffle was definitely my favorite. I’m a big lover of honey, so biting in to this truffle and getting to the honey filled center hit my sweet spot. You’ll notice that the top of the truffle feature a honeycomb design to further exemplify what’s waiting inside.
In the center of my list is the appropriately named Appletini Truffle. Anyone that’s a fan of the Appletini drink will immediately recognize the taste of this truffle. I’ve tried an Appletini before andthis truffle tastes exactly like the drink itself. Altogether, it was a good truffle with a fantastic design and flavor but it definitely won’t be for everyone.
Fourth in line is the Midnight Extra Dark Truffle that has just what the name implies: extra dark chocolate. Being a big fan of dark chocolate, this truffle certainly was a hit with me. This being a dark chocolate truffle, I’m sure you’ve all picked up on what the moon and stars design on top refers to.
Finally, we arrive at the Jack Daniels Caramel Truffle with the word “Whiskey” appropriately displayed across the top of the truffle. With this one you certainly don’t get the alcohol taste like you do with the Appletini; for me, this is a good thing. I’m certainly not against alcohol but I prefer to keep my booze and my chocolate separate.
If you ever get a chance, try out some of their truffles. The lady running the counter is the sweetest old lady and, as she told me, just so happens to be the grandmother of Daniel Cooper, the guy that started the Pure Imagination Chocolatier company.

I love love love Pure Imagination. If you’re going to be going to the Apron Gala at the North Market later this month, Daniel will be rolling out his Elevation line.
I haven’t checked the list of events for May yet but I will definitely be interested to see the new line.
