 Check out this beautiful but scary looking chocolate I got for my birthday yesterday! It comes from the Chocolate Alchemist (via my sister - thanks!), and it's very dark, it's got chillies covered in white chocolate in it and it's scattered with chilli seeds. A very classy looking but scary gift! The mobile phone camera really doesn't do it justice, it's a beautiful gift - I must get a new camera soon! I can totally see the logic to it too: Here's someone who likes chocolate, high cocoa chocolate is considered the gourmet version of chocolate, and high cocoa with chilli is exotic and Latin American and therefore the king of gourmet chocolate. As it turns out my mother loves chilli chocolate, so I was able to find it a better home there, but still have a chance to try some. So how was it? It was firm, but melty enough (technical terms there). I'd still say it's a bit too dark for me. But apart from that, 'interestingly warm'! It wasn't as hot as those hot sauces with cartoons on. But it was interestingly spicy - I think probably it would have made a very nice hot chocolate that was interesting in a good way. And above all, it was a very nicely presented, beautiful gift! Thanks, sis!

Guest article by Joe Young "A true chocolate lover finds ways to accommodate his passion and make it work with his lifestyle." - Julie Davis The Value of Dark Chocolate Dark chocolate, sometimes referred to as plain chocolate, is manufactured by adding fat and sugar to the cacao bean, without milk being added. Some would say milk contaminates the purity of the cacao bean. Perhaps they are right, I won't argue though! If you are going to eat chocolate, then choose a dark chocolate candy bar or the same in smaller quantity. |
