Matchmaker Chocolates - Madison

One of my best friends gave out Taste of Nashville giftbags to her wedding guests and Blushing Berry Chocolates made the cut (Nolensville, technically). There was an adorable 2 x2 gift box with 4 of Blushing Berries Truffles. We had the pleasure of tasting the Raspberry Truffle, Salted Caramel Truffle, Bourbon Pecan Truffle, and the Hazlenut Truffle. My favorites were the Salted Caramel (winner, winner, chicken dinner) and the Raspberry Truffle. For me, the Raspberry would be a star if the center were a delightful raspberry puree and not a puree mixed in with ganache. The Bourbon Pecan was nice and a good tie nearly with the Raspberry. Last, was the Hazelnut. I love hazelnut, but maybe my preference for this one had more to do with it being a milk chocolate truffle and I'm a dark chocolate lover. All in all, very nice chocolates. I could buy the Salted Caramel in bulk. Looking at the website, I'd love to get the Amaretto, Espresso, and Vanilla Cream Truffles. Hopefully, I can pop in the shop soon.

Cute little place. Solid selection of truffles- about 10 different kinds when I went in. I tried the Bourbon Pecan and he threw in a chili chocolate after sensing my hesitation regarding the heat. Both were great (not too hot and VERY bourbon-y! Met the owner and got to chat about his business. Super nice guy. He let us try some beer/maple caramels he was experimenting with but wasn't ready to sell yet (I think they're ready! He's running a one man show so hours can be spotty but definitely stop in if he's open! You can also get his treats at Arrington Vineyards, Whole Foods and a couple of other places around town!

Absolutely fantastic! The Chili pepper truffle was to die for. Also the salted caramel, Milk chocolate and Amaretto are extremely notable. The location is a little out of the way, but it is definitely worth the trek. A place like this in downtown would be a smash hit. The prices are not really cheap at $2 per truffle; however it is competitive against a place like Godiva and absolutely 100% way better. This has definitely been added to my once a month list :

I absolutely love the Blushing Berry! It’s fantastic to have such a unique spot in Nolensville. They serve homemade donuts every other Saturday, but be sure to arrive early since they sometimes sell out. They also offer handmade chocolates and seasonal goodies. In fact, I think it was my go-to place for Easter last year; they even sold me the entire basket!

I don't often make it to Nolensville while Blushing Berry is open, but last week I found myself there during their business hours. We walked in with no expectations and were warmly welcomed by the owner. The store featured a small display of fresh truffles and a few packaged varieties on the shelves. I opted for a hazelnut truffle, while my husband chose the chili pepper truffle and either a whiskey or bourbon truffle—though we devoured it so quickly that we can’t quite recall which one it was! We also had the opportunity to sample some beer caramels that the owner was working on, and they were truly fantastic! My hazelnut truffle disappeared in an instant; it was incredibly smooth and delicious! I tried the chili pepper truffle as well, which had a nice kick but wasn’t overwhelming at all—it was really tasty! We chatted with the owner for a bit and learned about his small but growing business. It’s a wonderful place that offers amazing truffles! I need to return when he has donuts available!
