9 piece white chocolate truffles with Krug® Champagne and edible gold leaf

Hip-Hop: Krug® Champagne + edible gold leaf + white chocolate truffle (33% cocoa butter)

This decadent truffle combines white chocolate, Krug ® Champagne and gold leaf—echoing rap's transition from music to a culture of "bling" popularized in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The word "bling" was first used in 1999 by rappers B.G., Juvenile and Baby Birdman on their track Bling Bling to celebrate their flashy wealth and expensive diamonds. It quickly became a fad, infiltrating rap and hip-hop music until recent years, when the phrase became too commonplace to garner the same street value. Since then, many artists have spoken out against the bling lifestyle, criticizing it as promoting materialism in lieu of responsibility. Even still, "bling" remains a part of hip hop history.

"The entire Groove Collection was created wholly from my realization that hip-hop culture was inspiring the pop music and flavor of the global world. What an incredible impact a people have had who have come so far in this country from field songs to hip-hop. I thought the idea of overly luxe gold leaf and Krug® Champagne represented the decadence of the early 2000s in hip-hop's evolution. Stay tuned...more groove will be coming in 2008."
