Local Chocolate

Anthony and I recently bought our dream home near Pittsburgh. I was at a local grocery shop a few weeks ago and in the checkout lane they had candy made from a local chocolatier. Never one to pass up a new chocolate, I picked up a chocolate dipped Oreo from Esther's Homemade Candy.

It is America's favorite cookie dipped in a healthy amount of delicious milk chocolate. The chocolate is very smooth and melts in your mouth. This is definitely a chocolate I think could stand on its own in a bar. It doesn't need the oreo to be tasty.  Satisfies my chocolate emergency for sure.  And I'm proud to live in a community that makes delicious chocolate!

Le Whif Part 2

In an earlier post (way earlier) I blogged about a company called Le Whif who makes a breathable chocolate. It was still in the works and would be released soon. Well, in her best roommate fashion, a few months ago Brittany announced to me that she had ordered some Le Whif for us and it would be arriving shortly.

Chocolate that you can take with you anywhere, and it won't melt in your pocket! Perfect for a chocolate emergency. Brittany and I got to try Chocolate, Raspberry Chocolate, and Mint Chocolate flavors.

A quick inhalation and a ring of powder lands on your tongue. Perfectly delightful. Rasperry Chocolate wins first place in my heart.

So does it satisfy the chocolate emergency? Yes and no. It does not satisfy the smooth and creamy texture I desire so much about chocolate but it is nice to have the flavor any time and anywhere I want it.
