Taken from random chocolate related items on my desk...
I need to write down these chocolates and throw away the scraps...

  • Last Thanksgiving, my friend, Maria, brought the most delicious bags of truffles. Both were by J.D. Gross, a brand that is sold by Lidl. The white chocolate champagne truffles are the best and the greatest part is that Kirk doesn't like them and the kids can't have them, so I don't have to share!
  • Albert Heijn has an excellent selection of toast sprinkles (ruitspekken, venz vlokken, and draagtas). In Germany, they have Nutella on their toast. In the Netherlands, they put chocolate sprinkles on their toast. The sprinkles at Albert Hein come in many shapes, colors, and flavors. And, they are really fun.
  • In Paris, along side one of my cappuccinos was a little chocolate by Bouchard. OH, and WOW! Yum! I wanted more. So I can't seem to let go of this tiny chocolate colored wrapper for fear I'll forget. So, here it is: Bouchard Belgian Chocolate. Dark 72%. Noir 72% (I know it means dark, but it's still pretty... French is another pretty language). www.bouchard.be

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
