Okay, look usually I'm a See's Candies girl because you simply cannot go wrong with a fan favorite. BUT yesterday I was feeling like someones rich auntie after making my way up and down Broadway Plaza handing out cash to some of my favorite stores, so at that point... why not run the tab up some more?
Oh, and I was about 3 espresso martinis deep (shoutout Original Joe's), which probably contributed to the financial confidence.
My friend had been RAVING about Läderach in a South Bay mall, so I went in. I'm not gonna lie, it's a little intimidating at first because there are HELLA choices and everything looks a bit too good to eat ya know where it may not taste as good. Thankfully, the staff was super friendly, professional and patient and they'll let you sample different chocolates, which obviously helped.
I tried one truffle, purchased two and grabbed four smaller individually wrapped pieces of their chocolate bark. And I LOVEEEE a good presentation, so the individual packaging and cute little bag had me feeling very pleased with my purchase.
I only ended up spending around $20, which got me two small truffles about the size of a quarter and four pieces of bark, LOL i said "only"... So yes, this is definitely bougie chocolate and you're not walking out with a pound of candy for $20.
BUT LEMME TELL YOU, it was soooo worth it. The chocolate was GOOD good. Rich, fresh, creamy, and the bark especially was amazing. I completely understand the hype now.
Will I abandon See's? Absolutely not. But will I be back at Läderach when I'm feeling like somebody's wealthy auntie again? 100%. read more
