It doesn’t get much more romantic than this classic crème brûlée with a crisp layer of caramelized sugar barely concealing the smooth custard below. But if you could bring white chocolate into the mix, then you’d have a Valentine’s Day masterpiece.
Your favorite chocolate-maker has made it happen!
It’s a White Chocolate Crème Brûlée Dream Come True
Ghirardelli just reintroduced its latest creation for Valentine’s Day: White Chocolate Crème Brûlée Squares. Each heart-strewn bag contains 10 squares of Ghirardelli’s melt-in-your-mouth white chocolate, generously studded with crunchy toffee-like bits that taste convincingly like crème brûlée. The squares have the slightest hint of cinnamon, too. Each 13/16″ square is individually wrapped in pretty pink foil, strewn, of course, with more hearts.
According to taste testers the last couple V-Days in a row, they’re very rich and well balanced so you don’t get too much of one flavor. The white chocolate perfectly complements the crème brûlée in a way that isn’t overwhelming but supplementary. It’s the ideal treat for Valentine’s Day if you’re out of ideas for your sweetheart, or you can just indulge in the entire package by yourself. There’s no wrong way to enjoy these decadent squares!
Psst… Here’s how to pronounce “Ghirardelli” and other hard-to-say brands.
Where Can You Get Them?
The White Chocolate Crème Brûlée Squares are available exclusively at Target for $4.79. You can also find the Ghirardelli squares—at a more expensive price—on Amazon.
