Lindt Lindor Truffles are truly one of humankind’s finest ball-shaped foods. Oranges? Grapefruits? Get outta here! This is a truffle town.

Lindt’s famous melt-in-your-mouth Lindor truffles come in a variety of beloved and not-so-beloved flavors, from the ever controversial white chocolate to 70% dark. 

One Christmas not too long ago, I ordered a giant box of assorted Lindt truffles and put them in with everyone’s presents. Obviously, I had to sample every flavor 4 or 5 times (you know, for quality control) and thus became something of a connoisseur. 

I’ve long been a fan of Lindt truffles, ever since that fateful day at Costco that I got one as a sample. As with any sweet, some flavors are superior to others, but honestly, unlike a lot of other sweets, I wouldn’t say any are trash. Perhaps this is due to a complete lack of raisins. (Confectioners, take note.)

10. Dark

The classic dark truffle in the blue wrapper squeezes into 10th by being a dark chocolate I actually like. Yes, I’m one of those classless doofs who doesn’t particularly like dark chocolate. This one, however, has the pleasing combination of creamy texture and mild flavor that makes it pleasing to my mouth.

9. White

White chocolate Lindt truffles are controversial, because “grown ups” don’t admit to liking white chocolate. Instead, they hide in their room under their duvet and eat truffle after truffle while watching Too Hot to Handle on their laptop and when their husband wants to know why there are so many gold wrappers in the sheets, they claim a wizard did it. LIKE ADULTS. But that’s totally not me, as I will fully admit to liking the white chocolate truffles. 

8. Dulce de Leche

Dulce de leche is maybe my favorite of the caramel-type truffles. In a departure from the posh (lol) standard that we expect from Lindt, the regular caramel truffle tastes too fake. This one, though, has a more subtle caramel flavor.

7. Almond Butter

This one really tastes like almond butter…mixed with Lindt milk chocolate, of course. If you like almond butter, then this might be able to fill the peanut butter-shaped hole in your heart (RIP Lindt PB truffs).

6. Milk and White “Seasonal”

I’m talking about the milk chocolate shell with the white chocolate filling that they repackage depending on the season. It’s “Snowman” in the winter, “Ghost” in the fall, etc. I’m not a marketing expert, so I’m just going to assume the people at Lindt know what they’re doing with this scheme. Anyway, it’s a good combo.

5. Stracciatella

Stracciatella is a lot like the white chocolate truffles, but the little bits really make a positive difference. It’s basically cookies and cream, and cookies and cream is always better than it has any right to be.

4. Hazelnut

I’ve never met a hazelnut and milk chocolate I didn’t like.

3. Milk Chocolate

This classic is also pretty much the basis for my top two favorite truffles. Milk chocolate is the best, and thing that are creamy and easy to eat are also the best. Chewing a lot is for suckers!

2. Coriander and Cinnamon

The winter seasonal flavor of coriander and cinnamon is everything I wanted the winter seasonal spekulatius (speculoos) flavor to be. It’s a smooth and lightly spiced milk chocolate truffle, whereas spekulatius just tastes like ginger. Coriander and cinnamon quickly shot up my list of favorite Lindor flavors when I tried it in Germany over Christmas. It’s part of the European seasonal line-up, but is not available in the US.

1. Mint Milk

As I’ve been saying for my entire life, there isn’t enough mint milk chocolate out there. But, as I grow older and wiser, I wonder: does there need to be when the perfection that is Mint Lindt truffles exists? Shouldn’t we be happy with the wonderful things we already have instead of demanding more?

Which do you think is the best Lindt Lindor truffle flavor?
