Chocolate marries well with a number of foods of sufficient complexity that they are curated on their own. Examples include wine, coffee, and even tea (yes, tea).
So why not chocolate and cheese? Better yet, why not chocolate and cheese food? “Food and Wine” reports:
Velveeta has teamed with the Los Angeles-based chocolatier to create the TruffVel, a shell-shaped confection that puts Velveeta’s cheese sauce where it has — more than likely — never been before. The TruffVel, as described in an announcement, is “Compartés sweet white chocolate paired with the creamy delicious bite of Velveeta for a unique sensation unlike any other. The iconic custom shell shape is made to mirror Velveeta Shells and Cheese and was created by infusing Velveeta cheese Sauce into Compartés award-winning chocolate to create a match made in culinary heaven.”
A match made in culinary heaven?
Naturally, you are free to form your own opinion, though you’ll need to fork over $24.95 for the privilege.
