<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Like an escape hatch hidden behind a library bookshelf in the 19th medieval literature section, red velvet cake is so much more than it seems. It is what chocolate cake would be if it were recruited as a spy, stealthily dying its natural brown cake a burnt red and shunning its chocolate frosted exterior for a plain, smooth buttercream, possibly even with some cream cheese added in (scandalous!). <\/p>\n
But we know that these red dyes and swirly buttercreams are just fancy looks, right? At its heart, red velvet cake is still just a humble, fudgy chocolate cake, and I don\u2019t mess around when it comes to chocolate cake. These little Lindt truffles are no exception: I want nothing short of chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate\u2026oh yeah, and a dab of buttercream. Bring forth your cocoa-iest, Lindt!<\/p>\n
![\"Lindt](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Lindt-Lindor-Limited-Edition-Red-Velvet-Truffles-2.jpg?resize=463%2C600&ssl=1\" "\\"Lindt")
<\/p>\n
Let us pause to celebrate Lindt\u2019s interactive packaging. Not only does bursting open the bag bring forth smells of sugar and milk chocolate, but the act of unwrapping and beholding one of the white chocolate orbs provides you with a warm bubbly feeling and sense of accomplishment. It’s similar to the sensation of completing all 256 secret levels in Super Mario Brothers, only without golden coins, Luigi, or the need to defeat a spikey-shelled turtle creature with anger problems.<\/p>\n
Chomping down, there\u2019s an immediate crackle from the white chocolate shell, which leans more on the \u201cButtercream\u201d rather than the \u201cCream Cheese\u201d side of the Frosting Spectrum (very scientific). The insides are smooth and, I\u2019m pleased to discover, taste like actual chocolate. <\/p>\n
Sure, there\u2019s some red dye going on, saturated fat out the wazoo, and vegetable oil helping it all hold together, but it graciously doesn\u2019t obstruct from the rich, milk chocolate flavor sustained here. It ends up being about a 30:70 flavor ratio between the white chocolate \u201cbuttercream\u201d flavor and milk chocolate fudgy flavor and, while I\u2019m not sure what recipe, ingredient, or Harry Potter magic made this so intensely chocolate-cakey, I approve of it. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Having had far too many dry, crusty red velvet cakes in recent years, I confess I underestimated these truffles. While this isn\u2019t the truffle I expected, it\u2019s unquestionably a delicious one and I will happily finish the bag. They have crisp white chocolate, fudgy insides, and, when looked at in a certain light, turn your tongue red. <\/p>\n
Oh, and they taste solid: sweet, white-and-milk chocolatey, a tad earthy, very sweet with a crunchy shell and smoothy-groovy insides. In this, Lindt proves that there is no need to have such a noisy fuss over cake. Indeed, you can avoid the oven and actually find something not only decent, but absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n
So, if you want some cake without the flour, hassle, waiting, or just want to eat something smaller than a manhole cover, now you can join the over five million people who talk to their therapist about their mild addiction to red velvet on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n
