I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted, and some of you have been like,
where’s that chick with her latest finds???

Mama’s back!

So here’s what’s up… Someone turned me on to Daskalidès chocolatier, and I am
A STONE COLD BELIEVER!

My favorites are as follows:

Diamants are a girl’s best friend. Get an eyeful of these gems: Diamant Noir,
a maraschino-flavored ganache:

And here we have the Diamant Special, for the girl who thinks plain ol’ Diamants
are beneath her. This puppy consists of milk praline with gingerbread flakes:

Not Crocodile Dundee, it’s Daskalidès’ Crocantino confection: Dark praline
with puffed rice. It’s the breakfast of champions!

Coeur Pamplemousse, ’cause you know you’ve got to pample your mousse.
Just kidding. I took French for a few weeks in junior high, so calm down.
In lay(wo)man’s terms, you’re looking at chocolate with a sweet ‘n tangy
grapefruit cream filling:



Jardin Amandes. I can’t think of anything funny to say for this one. There’s really nothing funny about almond and hazelnut praline covered with almond flakes. This is serious business right here:

Merveilleux. Yes, anything in the image of a cupcake is most certainly deserving of such a lofty moniker. Gianduja on a hazelnut paste is calling me for a date right now:

Daskalidès also serves up sugar-free varieties - but eh, why bother?

I mean, if you’re gonna plunk down the shiny shekels for some cacao, you might as well make it mean something. But that’s just me. (shrugs)
