GODIVA TRUFFLE CUPCAKES :: CUPCAKE MONDAY

If you’re like me, there is nothing more blissful than chocolate.  Except maybe an evening filled with chocolate truffles, girlfriends and a glass of Prosecco!  I’ve partnered up with Godiva to bring you inspiration for the ultimate girls’ get together and a new cupcake recipe. It’s a Girls’ Flight Night featuring Godiva’s new Truffle Flights.

So it all starts with Godiva’s new line of Truffle Flights.  The concept is much like a flight of wine, except we’re indulging in chocolate!  A box of six truffles, each one a different flavor to linger over and savor.  Placed in a tasting order that builds in intensity, starting with a lighter, delicate truffle and grows bolder as you go.  It’s a whole new way to experience chocolate, enjoying each subtle note, texture and aroma.  It is a chocolate lover’s heaven in a sweet little box.  And the perfect foundation for a fabulous girls’ night!
