Don't Spend Valentines Day Without These

When we last visited Vosges Haut Chocolate in Soho, a little schmoozing let us in on a secret: not only would Vosges be carrying a late-to-arrive Valentines special filled with aphrodisiac truffles, but one of the top-secret flavors would involve white chocolate ganache steeped with Kumamoto oysters. Curious? So were we.

Let's make something clear: This isn't the kind of chocolate that you eat by the box after a rough day. This is chocolate to eat and think about, chocolate to approach thoughtfully—whether or not one loves the results. So Kathy and I joined forces—we'll call ourselves the Intrepid Chocolate Warriors—-and tackled the admittedly scary oyster truffles, along with their similarly aphrodisiac-infused friends.
