We had a lot of great press and reviews in 2009 and I thought it might be a good time to collect them all in a post. So often, we do not have time to appreciate these things in the moment.

Hedonist Artisan Chocolates are made with love (and lots of other yummy things). Chocolate truffles, chocolate dipped fruit and drinking chocolate—it’s all good. Hedonist Chocolate listed on “Our Favorite Things” page in Jane and Jane magazine (pdf), 02/01/09

The truffles, devoured before we made it to the car, were rich and luscious,
worth every penny. The chocolate bark, which took us through the weekend, was equally divine. “Satiating our senses in hip South Wedge” article in Irondequoit Post (pdf), 3/26/09

The well designed and beautifully executed flavors of these chocolates really wow-ed me….Despite all the additions to the bark and the flavors of the chocolate, Hedonist still lets the chocolate shine over all the other ingredients. Which, is what a good chocolatier does in my opinion. Holiday Truffle Collection, Milk Chocolate Sesame Bark and Ginger Pistachio Bark review on The Candy Enthusiast blog, 12/02/09

All in all, a lovely, seasonally-themed set. Holiday Truffle Collection Review on ZOMG, Candy! blog, 12/18/09
