Frisson is defined as a sudden thrill or quiver.  An apt description for the delightful experience when chocolate meets fruit in these four heavenly bonbons.  Lemons, passion fruit and raspberries tease the fruit flavor notes out of scotch for a wonderful dessert on a summer's afternoon.  A fun collection for experimentation with often surprising and rewarding results.  Here are our suggestions just to get you started.

Le Citron  

Parchita

Milk chocolate and sweet Meyer lemon caramel with a hint of mint make for a delightful confection.  Our favorite pairings are with an 8 year old Hazelburn or 12 year old Glenkinchie and  a Camacho 1962 cigar.

Exotic flavors of passion fruit enrobed in dark chocolate pair beautifully with 12 year old Glenfiddich malt and a Defiance, The Guardian cigar.

Framboise

Cinco De Mayo 

Raspberry ambrosia is the best description for this chocolate gem.  Pate de fruit over almond hazlenut praline then encased with dark chocolate will send you to berry paradise when enjoyed with Bruichladdich Torrey Pines from the Links series and a Macanudo Duke of York.

The essence of lemons and limes with a touch of tequila produce a refreshing zing when paired with a 15 year old Gordon & MacPhail Craigellachie  or other citrusy dram.
