For inexperienced or squeamish cookie eaters, Lindt is offering up Lindor Limited Edition Gingerbread Truffles. Sourced from the finest cuts of cookie anatomy, the classic Lindor milk chocolate shell is infused with gingerbread cookie pieces encapsulating a gingerbread truffle filling. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lindt-Lindor-Limited-Edition-Gingerbread-Milk-Chocolate-Truffles-2.jpg?resize=389%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lindt Lindor Limited Edition Gingerbread Milk Chocolate Truffles 2\" title=\"Lindt Lindor Limited Edition Gingerbread Milk Chocolate Truffles 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"389\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cookie bits add a pleasant grit to the standard and delicious chocolate shell, but all of the limited edition flavor comes by way of the creamy truffle center. As gingerbread cookies are far from creamy in their natural state, liquefying them must be a disturbing transmogrification that only those haunted by the memories of gingerbread houses gone awry can stomach. <\/p>\n<p>The trauma of these tortured souls is evidenced by their Bond-villain like maniacal laughter as licorice bound gingerbread people are slowly lowered into magmatic vats of palm kernel oil. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lindt-Lindor-Limited-Edition-Gingerbread-Milk-Chocolate-Truffles-3-1.jpg?resize=599%2C457&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lindt Lindor Limited Edition Gingerbread Milk Chocolate Truffles 3\" title=\"Lindt Lindor Limited Edition Gingerbread Milk Chocolate Truffles 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"457\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the disturbingly produced core is much sweeter than any gingerbread cookie I&#8217;ve eaten and comes across with almost floral notes. These Mr. Big inspired chocolatiers must take particular umbrage with the housewives of the ginger-burbs where saccharin-based Botox is all the rage. A little less literal sweet revenge and a bit more bitter molasses may have produced a better balance and left a few more cookie families intact for the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>While I possess the confectionary architectural aptitude of a blind Fraggle, I hold no ill will towards gingerkind. Even so, Lindor Gingerbread Truffles are worth trying for the novelty, but I will embrace my role as the apex predator of cookie munching interspersed with bites of a standard truffle when the mood for both strikes.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $5.94<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 8.5 oz. bag<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Walmart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (3 Balls) 220 calories, 17 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 35 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of carbohydrates, 14 grams of sugar, 1 gram of dietary fiber, and 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know there are Santa-hatted zombies who advocate for the head first consumption of anthropomorphic treats.
