Norman Love Confections' new holiday chocolates are out, and I got a sneak peek (and taste) of all of them. Every year the internationally known, Southwest Florida based chocolatier releases a new collection in time of Christmas and Hanukkah. They are sold at his chocolate salons in Naples, Fort Myers, Estero, Sarasota, Boca Raton and Del Ray.
You can also purchase online and have them shipped anywhere in the United States and you will likely want to after reading these descriptions. There are some new flavors this year as well as some oldies but goodies and longtime favorites. Perhaps a box of these for the Thanksgiving dessert table?

I had not tried the Candy Cane chocolate before, and it was lovely. Just the right amount of mint. I also liked the Holiday Spiced Caramel. The Jingle Bell Java came home with me.
I also took some video from the Norman Love chocolate tasting before the sugar crash happened. Click here to see the delicious decadence.

My favorite was the coconut macaroon. It reminded me of much higher quality Mounds candy bar. Black and White Cookie went down a little too easy. The Tahitian Carmel is a standard flavor, but it gets a new look in this collection. It's another all-time favorite.
Finally, Norman Love Confections also has a limited edition, chocolate Advent Calendar.
Chocolate makes people. When that chocolate also looks like a piece of art, it's even more special.
