Sweet Dreams
One of my FaceBook friends posted a status update the other day about Hershey’s new Cherry Cordial kisses. First it made me hungry, then it made me think about how much I love chocolate. :) I love everything about it. I know, typical female!
This year is promising to be a lean one as far as Christmas goes. I can’t see giant stacks of stuff under the tree, given our current situation. So I’ve decided I’ll be happy with chocolate. Lots of it! Even on good years, that’s what my stocking tends to be made up of (Ben knows what I like, lol). So, this year, the candy can spill right out of the stocking and into the regular gifts, as far as I’m concerned. A nice big box of truffles will do me fine.
Speaking of truffles….one of the things I miss the most about Vermont is downtown Burlington. They had a Lindt store….a store full of nothing but truffles! It was like my own personal heaven. I wonder if it’s still there. I wonder why they can’t put one in this town. The mall is kind of boring if you’re over 17….a truffle store would really make it a more pleasant place to shop.
Just sayin’.
the lindt store unfortunately closed earlier this year. bummerama. but there’s better chocolate just down the street- at lake champlain chocolates. they have, by far, the best truffles ever. those hershey’s cherry cordials are pretty darn tasty, too.
Aunt Jessie- I remember that Lake Champlain Chocolates place from when I visited! That place was the BEST!
When you get down here I shall take you to the Lindt Cafe and we can go crazy!
The best truffles I ever had were homemade ones, and unfortunately I was never able to get the recipe from the person who made them. I’ve been meaning to start trying truffle recipes in hopes of recreating them, but so far have not.
@ nick- wonder how well lake champlain chocolates travel? the factory store is two minutes away from my house (and grandma’s work, btw) maybe i should look into this in the upcoming weeks to send some down to you guys for xmas?
