Chocolately Goodness

Ever since i mentioned Cadbury Creme Eggs, i haven't been able to get them off the brain! Tonight i went to a drugstore in search of mini Creme Eggs, which come in a little "carton" of a dozen mini eggs of goodness. They had everything but the minis so i just bought 1 regular Creme Egg, which i'll unwrap and devour tonight. Don't mistake the mini Creme Eggs for "Cadbury Mini Eggs," which are a little bag of egg-shaped Cadbury chocolates with pastel candy shells. For the record, i like Cadbury chocolate okay - it's that creme filling that's so enticing!

When i got home, a surprise box from the Rices was waiting! Those crazy kids sent me a box of Candinas chocolates. The box itself is really nice, with an orange, red, tan and brown stripes sleeve over a box imprinted with matching circles. I immediately tried 1 truffle, which was a slightly minty dark chocolate one. I have to ration myself in some sort of manner or else they'll all be gone by tomorrow; they are that good! The fillings are very smooth and velvety, while the outsides are snappy like well-tempered chocolate should be. Thanks dudes!

So many of my friends are chocoholics; we've had a long-standing plan to visit all the chocolate shops in New York. I'll report as we visit each place, if we ever get our asses in gear! be and i secretly would love to open our own candy & chocolate shop; check out the truffles we made a few years back. Realistically, we can't compete with the professionals but it sure is fun to think about it.
