To Die For Chocolate

To Die For Chocolate
Each year St. Bart's which is between my office building and the Waldorf on Park Avenue has a Christmas Bazaar. The vendors spill over to the street with their great gift ideas. Each evening on the walk to Grand Central there is a young man offering samples of chocolate. Being the good diabetic, I decline the sample and continue on my way.
I needed a few little gifts to take to various homes when I visit this season so yesterday I stopped and sampled a bit of his chocolate. The sign says "No Chewing Allowed ... just let it melt in your mouth". Oh man, I died and went to heaven.
It was billed as "Traditional French Truffles" from Mathez and I purchased two boxes for $22. Going to have to go back tomorrow (if they are open with the snow storm we are expecting) and get two more and then hide them from myself.

I like chocolate. A lot. It's why my teeth are all fake.

Yum. I am not really a chocolate person but I bought some truffles from Trader Joe's (from France) and tried them last night (and tonight) and they are soooooo good. They are amazingly good. I have had truffles before in the U.S. but they were not good. That is my new thing now....whenever I travel I am going to have to sample the truffles.
They look like the ones you can get at Costco, which I have a serious problem with.
Don't eat yourself sick on them. It CAN be done!

Re: To Die For Chocolate
OK, here's something really whacky. Been married to er' indoors for 25 years. A chocoholic if ever I seen one, for years, anything Chocolate was for the noshing on! She WAS an addict!
Anyway, about 3 months ago, she decided to go cold-turkey and hasn't touched it since. In fact she reckons now, she doesn't even want it if it's put under her nose and she says' she feels healthier... If I hadn't seen it for myself, I never would have believed it.
FWIW - she was having indigestion probs that have completely disappeared!
just thought I'd share since I have the quality street tin to myself this year and I ain't sharing that..
