The New York Times style magazine, T, gives some V-day love to our own mayor of Philly's "red-light district", Marcie Turney and her Marcie Blaine Artisanal Chocolates (108 S. 13th St.). Writer Charlotte Druckman catalogs Turney and partner Valerie Safran's 13th St. empire, as well as cherry-picking her favorites from the Marcie Blaine chocolate box.
The current truffle selection includes the well-calibrated Lolita Hot Chocolate, which features cinnamon ganache and ancho chile; the Bindi Madras, whose curry-coconut combo takes on an unexpectedly nutty, hickory-ish life of its own; and the Italian Prosecco, with its subtle boozy kick. More Philly-centric chocolates are also notable: Busy Bee Farm supplies the fragrant purple flowers for the Lavender Vanilla; the city's beloved La Colombe coffee (the Corsica blend) meets Maker's Mark whiskey in the Tipsy Poodle, so named for its alcoholic content and the chocolate curls that cover it; and the Cajeta's caramel is made from Pennsylvania goat's milk.
Click over to the T blog to find out which chocolates Druckman knows you'll want seconds of.
Marcie Blaine chocolates are killer! Try the caramels rosemary/pinenut, marcona almond and chile or the crispy hazelnut tastes like a grown up kit-kat. On certain days they are in the back making the chocolates-so you know they are fresh-not shipped in from somewhere.
