Chocolates and game day: a marriage made in hog heaven!

Fleurir Hand Grown Chocolates, a phenomenal artisan chocolate shop in Alexandria, Virginia, is run by a former classmate of mine from Hendrix College, Robert Ludlow, and his wife Ashley.  They use fresh, local, high-quality natural ingredients to craft some of the most delicious chocolates you can find anywhere.

Their flavors include Sesame Hazelnut, Pink Peppercorn, Brandy Alexander, Grand Marnier Orange Blossom, Coconut Lime, Irish Coffee, Peanut Butter Banana, Carrot Cake, Ginger Rogers, Lemon Honey, Raspberry, Spumoni, Almond Amaretto, Cheesecake, Lavender Shiraz, and several others. 

Standard and custom boxes are available, starting at $8 for a four-piece box.  Shipping available.

These chocolates are unbelievable, and I love that they are made by a cute young couple with deep Arkansas connections.  Send one to your hosts as a thank you gift after you stay with them for a game weekend.
