Locke’d Up Truffles

I should probably preface this review by saying that I was once a high school classmate of the owner. As soon as she said she was going to start selling her homemade chocolate truffles, my interest was piqued. According to her closest friends, these things are pretty much impossible to turn down. Now Jessica has decided to take the plunge and sell them to the masses at the Phoenix Public Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Being that the market is less than a mile walk for me, I was pretty much down there in a flash.
Jessica was nice enough to let me sample a couple of their flavors which come in dark chocolate and white chocolate varieties. When I asked her what she’s most famous for, the answer immediately was her Mexican Chocolate. I tried a sample and WOW did that thing pack a punch. Super tasty chocolate with cinnamon, coffee, and vanilla notes and then you get a kick of chili pepper at the end. I was in the mood for white chocolate tonight so this time I decided to grab a box of her assorted white chocolate truffles to go. They come 4 to a box and sell for $ 10. Tonight’s white chocolate assortment consisted of a raspberry, a peppermint crunch, a key lime pie, and an oreo cookie.
The verdict? Let’s just say Jess’s friends weren’t kidding. These things were insanely awesome. It’s pretty much a tossup between the key lime and raspberry in terms of which was my favorite, but all four were fantastically decadent. The white chocolate shells around each truffle were firm but smooth, and the fillings were rich and creamy. Jess definitely knows whats she’s doing.
So if you happen to venture down to the Phoenix Public Market sometime, make a point of it to visit Jessica’s booth. Grab a sample and take in the deliciousness. She’s super friendly and clearly enjoys making these truffles for everyone to enjoy. I mean seriously, what’s not to love when it comes to delicious chocolate truffles?
