The Texas Hill Country collection chocolate truffles are wild and quirky, just like the state capital of Austin. The chocolate truffle centers are infused with smoked salted bourbon pecan, honey chipotle, and Mexican mole.

The Texas collection chocolate truffles also evoke quintessentially Texan scents and flavors, such as fresh lavender, sweet prickly pear, and smooth honey.
