Anyone else tried their truffles?

Hey guys! Had the BEST experience at Venchi today. If you’re a chocolate lover in SD, listen up. First off, if you’re just grabbing chocolates, you can skip the chaos and head straight to the counter. They let me sample their chocolate truffles for free. I was skeptical of the blood orange filling at first, but one bite and I was hooked.

At checkout, the sweet staff told me signing up for their FREE membership gets you a CHOCOLATE BAR gift! You can pick from like 5 options, including 75% dark chocolate. I went for the 70% extra dark mini bar.

Anyone else tried Venchi’s truffles? Which flavor should I go for next? And does every location do the free member gift, or just this one?

Your Venchi experience sounds amazing! Those free samples and gifts are such a treat. Did the staff recommend any other must try flavors besides the blood orange?
