All Gone



Back in April, we attended a Chocolate themed fundraising event. Quite a few local businesses wowed us with their chocolaty inventions!  Of course, I had to purchase a souvenir or two, so one of my choices, was this box of scrumptious,  almost too beautiful to eat  Chocolate covered caramels from Chouquette.  Almost, but not quite.

I intended to save the treats until I had reached that goal weight I had been working on- or was getting ready to get serious about working on. . .  Oh, how the best of intentions get us.

By the end of May, I was half way there and treated myself to 2 of the confections.  Then I waited. . . And waited. . . and waited some more.   Summer came and went. . .

My daughter was visiting the other day, noticed the pretty contents and voiced concerns about shelf life. .  . so considering that I had gone backwards from my goal and therefore the date of reaching it was out in the great unknown. . . I decided there's no better time like the present, and no better partner with whom to share.  It did not take long until the confections were gone.

These were dark chocolate covered flavored caramels. The gooey center caramels came in different flavors such as:
Balsamic vinegar. [actually quite good]
Sea Salt    [Yum!]
Hazelnut  [for the dd, not me ;) ]
Coffee

Well worth a treat, especially for a special occasion as they are already decorated!  I would love to try her truffle assortment and have chocolate on chocolate, in various flavors of course!!
Bon Appétit! <3 p="p">
