if you're finding it hard to find me a present, believe you me, i won't ever mind chocolate. easy to find them, too! groceries, drug stores, supermarkets, corner stores. and i won't even fault you for buying it on sale, because that's the best way to buy chocolate, or anything for that matter.
these are called ferrero rocher. i had posted one in march. this time, i don't have a taste for it because it's late in the evening and the little milk in it would counter with my medication. they are creamy chocolate in the centre with a whole (at least it used to be a whole) hazelnut, enclosed in a thin chocolate wafer then dipped in milk chocolate and rolled in coarsely chopped hazelnut pieces then dipped again in chocolate. normally, they'd be gone before the photo op is over; i'm so proud of meself for this extraordinary restraint i'm in.
go ahead, have one. or two.
thank you folks for your views and comments; i appreciate them muchly. i shall catch up with yours on the weekend when hopefully i am well enough to sit without hacking.
Yum yum- but my favorites are the milk chocolate with caramel center, or mousse. However, I will never turn down chocolate of any kind. Sorry to have been off viewing your shots. Two big writing projects and the aftermath of Sandy really botched my schedule recently.
wonderful chocolate displayed in a crystal bowl make for a really good shot! take care of yourself ~ feel better. post when you can. i look forward to your photos and stories.....
