My 25 Favorite Chocolate Quotes
July 10, 2015
Some people collect stamps, others collect baseballs, or multitudes of family photos. I, myself, collect quotes.
I've always loved quotes. I like that many people can relate to a good quote. To me, it's like listening to the radio - it's comforting knowing that somewhere in the world there's a handful of others listening in with me.
Chocolate Almond Morsels Recipe
July 8, 2015
I'm sure you know what I mean when I say... Sometimes it's easier to hold back when you can physically count exactly how many bites of dessert you're devouring.
If you're like me, add "late at night by the light of the fridge" to the end of that sentence.

Amazing New Chocolate And Coffee Pairing
June 30, 2015
You are seeing it here first! I got my hands on a pre-release version of a new chocolate collection from Cup of Luxury Coffee and David Bacco Chocolatier.
Chocolate and Coffee... Together.
But I don’t mean "drink a cup of coffee and eat your square of chocolate" together. Nothing wrong with that pairing, but I prefer the crunchy, roasted bits of coffee bean encased in a rich dark chocolate bar togetherness.
In this review, Cup of Luxury coffee meets David Bacco Chocolatier chocolate. Separately, they are exceptional. Together they’re phenomenal!
