Benjamin Twiggs' Cherry Chocolate Truffles

Tastemaker
June 1, 2024

When you step inside the cherry—we mean cheery—red, green, and white storefront of Benjamin Twiggs in Traverse City, it can be a little hard to decide what to put in your shopping basket. The dried cherries? The preserves? The maple granola? Yes to all of the above…but most importantly, you won’t want to miss the Dark Chocolate Cherry Truffles ($8.95 for a four pack). These little dessert bites feel decadent, sweet, and tart all at the same time, and they’re a great way to say thank-you to a friend—or to treat yourself! While we love the dark chocolate variety best, you can also opt for milk chocolate or a mixed pack with two of each. Find Benjamin Twiggs at 1213 E. Front Street in Traverse City or shop online at benjamintwiggs.com. (231) 947-0208
