Chocolate & Bourbon: A Match Made in Heaven

September isn't just about back-to-school or pumpkin spice lattes, folks—it's Bourbon Heritage Month! And what better way to celebrate this fine occasion than by exploring a combination that should be at the top of everyone's bucket list: chocolate and bourbon. As someone who has a deep, unwavering love for both chocolate and bourbon, I can tell you that pairing these two is an art form—a delicious, irresistible art form.

Now, when it comes to pairing bourbon with chocolate, not just any chocolate will do. We're talking about a true match made in heaven, and that requires something exceptional. Enter Art Eatables, the "masters" of bourbon-infused chocolates. If you've been hanging out with us here at Bourbon & Banter for a while, you've probably seen us rave about them before. And if you're new, well, buckle up. Art Eatables, founded by Kelly Ramsey, is not just a chocolatier but a certified Bourbon Steward—meaning she knows her bourbon just as well as her chocolate. They’ve crafted a line of bourbon truffles so divine, we once declared they were proof that God exists. Seriously, you’ll find it in the archives.

Why Pair Chocolate and Bourbon?

Chocolate and bourbon are like old friends who bring out the best in each other. The rich, creamy texture of chocolate melds beautifully with the bold, spicy, and sometimes sweet bourbon notes. When you pair them just right, it's like a symphony of flavors playing on your palate.

Think about it: a smooth, dark chocolate truffle infused with a robust bourbon—you're not just tasting a piece of candy and sipping a drink. You’re experiencing a complex dance of flavors, where the caramel and vanilla notes of the bourbon enhance the deep cocoa tones, and maybe even pick up on a hint of oak or spice that you never noticed before.

And who better to guide you on this journey than Art Eatables? Their truffles aren't just chocolates; they’re little flavor bombs designed to complement and highlight the unique characteristics of different bourbons. Each bite is an invitation to expand your appreciation of bourbon, to explore its nuances, and to savor every drop of that amber nectar.
