Mango Truffle
Rated 0 out of 5
$5.75 Add to cart

Tangy mango with a touch of yuzu juice and my version of white chocolate, Vanilla Simply White, create a luscious smooth ganache.

The tanginess is enhanced by the citrus notes in the third-generation Colombian Orinoco Region heirloom cacao – Arauquita, that I used to make the MonKKey DarKeto chocolate shells.

Drizzles of more Simply White decorate the shells.

Add this to you choice of bonbons to fill a gold box as a gift, especially for Galentine’s Day (13 Feb) and Valentine’s Day (14 Feb).

Flavours of Broadway – Bulk Cheese Warehouse Smoked Cheddar & Apple Brandy Truffles
Rated 0 out of 5
$5.75 Add to cart

Opened in 1987 by Scott Bartlett, the Bulk Cheese Warehouse has been a staple of the Broadway area for over three decades. Meat and cheese are smoked in-house.

In this, the 2024 version, I used their four year old smoked cheddar cheese for our collaboration to bring savoury and sweet together in this tasty truffle.

The smoky cheese was paired with Pemberton Distillery’s Organic Apple Brandy and MonKKey Arauquita Very Dark MilKeto. The resulting savoury truffle was finished by rolling in toasted pecans.

Perfect for after dinner.

Canadian rye whisky, with the tastes of oak, toasted grains and rich toffee, pairs magically with the tropical fruit and herbal notes of Colombian Chigorodó cocoa in TOTALLY! MilKeto.

The complexity of flavours is enhanced by rolling the truffle in two kinds of chocolate shavings: MonKKey DarKeto and MonKKey Simply Milk.

Perfect with your favourite beverage.

8 Hot Pepper & Macadamia Truffles
Rated 0 out of 5
$5.75 Add to cart

The intense rich flavour of MonKKey Venezuelan DarKeto (sweet & dark) is paired with a spicy blend of eight hot peppers (from OurFarmYXE) and organic lime zest.

Chopped and toasted organic macadamias add a nutty crunchiness to round out the flavours and textures. Whenever possible, I use organic nuts from Nut Hut, a Vancouver company.

The amazing pure cream from the BC Avalon dairy makes the ganache extra creamy.

Colombian Chigorodó whole cocoa powder dusts the finished truffle.

If you enjoy new and complex flavours and like hot & spicy*, then these are for you!

*just enough heat to make your mouth warm not fiery.

Café au Lait Truffles

$5.75 Add to cart

MilKeto chocolate and coffee are united in this truffle. The chocolate is Colombian Arauca MonKKey MilKeto: in-the-style of milk chocolate.

In-house made keto coffee liqueur enhances the 100% Arabica coffee.

The truffle is rolled in whole Chigorodó cocoa powder to enhance the rich chocolate flavour note. (Whole cocoa powder has both the cocoa and cocoa butter unlike regular cocoa powder which does not have any cocoa butter.)

Could this truffle be that morning treat…?

Ginger Truffle

So simple – the zing of fresh organic ginger on your tongue in harmony with the smooth Colombian Ariari MonKKey MilKeto ganache contrasts beautifully with the dusting of deep rich flavour of natural Venezuelan cocoa mixes with more ground ginger. Plus in-house candies ginger for a bit of crunch and more zing.

Savour the flavours as a true connoisseur: bite a half of the truffle. Close your eyes. Let your tongue explore the flavors and textures. Which flavours are your favourites?

Waffolate Bonbons
Rated 0 out of 5
$3.75 Add to cart
The Waffolate: a chocolate waffle pays homage to the keto world’s chaffle, the cheese waffle.

Waffolates come in five varieties:
- TOTALLY! 100% – unadulterated chocolate flavour.
- TOTALLY! MilKeto – whole milk adds creaminess and softens the 100% chocolate flavour.
- MonKKey DarKeto – subtly sweetened with the sugar alcohol, erythritol, and a touch of monk fruit juice concentrate.
- MonKKey MilKeto – sweetened, as DarKeto but made creamy with whole milk.
- Cocoa Butter (in the style of white chocolate) – cocoa butter, whole milk and erythritol.
The featured Waffolate is made with Ariari cocoa mass from Colombia. Ariari’s flavour profile is defined by cacaitoscanada.ca as “tropical fruits combined with molasses flavor”. Can you taste those flavours?

This is the first time that I have used Ariari: I hope it will become another keto fine chocolate favourite.

Bars are available in all varieties except TOTALLY! 100% which is by special order.
