Experiencing Chuao Chocolates

Our boss came to visit us a couple of weeks ago. She gave us some artisan chocolates! <3 Here's what my friend and I got.


Chuao Oh My Smores! and Spicy Maya

Oh My Smores! is crafted with joy, fluffy marshmallows and crushed honey graham crackers reunite in milk chocolate. Spicy Maya is also crafted with joy, seductive cinnamon, pasilla chile and warming cayenne bedded in dark chocolate. Don't you crave for them just by reading their descriptions?

A closer look: Chuao Oh My Smores!

A closer look: Chuao Spicy Maya

Each chocolate is inspired by an experience. You can read them at the back aside from the usual ingredients list.

The Experience:
Crushed honey graham goodness, fluffy marshmallows and creamy milk chocolate take your taste buds on a trip down memory lane with Oh My S'mores! The cracking of the campfire. The children's ooey gooey grins. The sweet smell of toasty marshmallows in the air. Just one scrumptious bite and... oh my!
The Experience:
A warm cinnamon embrace, velvety chocolate and an infusion of cayenned and pasilla chile just enough heat to melt your heart. Spicy Maya is the perfect mix of sweet and seductive.

Master chocolatier, Chef Michael Antonorsi, is behind Chuao chocolatier. He crafted chocolates after 30 years from working in the tech industry. I just found out from their site that Spicy Maya is their signature flavor. It is a modern twist on the Mayan’s ancient drinking chocolate recipe, infused with cinnamon, pasilla chile and cayenne pepper. From then on, the Spicy Maya flavor has extended across all of Chuao’s product lines.

My friend and I finished Oh My Smores! It's not that sweet. It's not also that milky, if you like more of the milk taste. Spicy Maya is not yet finished, I refused to do so LOL. It has an exquisite spicy taste that reminds me of Lindt's Chili but more of an earthy kick. I suppose the cinnamon has something to do with that and I just love cinnamon. It's my favorite spice.

What's funny is that quite halfway through eating Spicy Maya, we found out that the chocolates have inscriptions on them.

Can you read them? It's quite sexy, don't you think? XD 

Eating artisan chocolates is meant to be taken slowly and enjoyed slowly. Eating Chuao chocolates is like an intimate affair with your palate and the chocolate. It's quite a relaxing option of a desert. Ironically, we finished Oh My Smores! in a heartbeat LOL.

As they say at Chuao, if it's not a wow, it's not a CHEW-WOW!  How about you? Have you tried any of the Chuao chocolates? Check out Chuao Chocolatier for more of their alluring chocolates. :3
