Velveeta Cheese And Chocolate Truffles Are Now A Thing
Food mashups have been around for a while now, and Phil and I have tried lots of them. But I’m going to go ahead and call it; we aren’t trying this one! Velveeta has teamed up with Compartés for a cheese/chocolate truffle.
According to Food & Wine, Velveeta and Los Angeles-based chocolatier Compartés to create the TruffVel. It’s a shell-shaped truffle which pairs sweet white chocolate and creamy Velveeta. In the announcement about the new TruffVel, the company describes it as a ‘unique sensation unlike any other’. And I don’t doubt that!
The TruffVel looks like Velveeta Shells and Cheese but it tastes a bit different. The new mash-up was created by infusing Velveeta cheese Sauce into Compartés award-winning chocolate. To me, it sounds nasty. Although I’ll admit that I’ve never tried a cheese and chocolate mix. According to a staff member at Food & Wine, the taste is definitely cheesy.
I will say that the truffles do look pretty. But I can’t get my brain to agree with the combination of flavors in this mash-up. If you’re interested in giving them a try, a box of five of the TruffVels are now available while supplies last. You can get them for $24.95 at compartes.com.
Yes they're shaped like pasta shells. https://t.co/eXWc3McraL
