About to bite into the third of the twelve chocolates I brought home from Belgium. The first was from Neuhaus, where I asked the lady behind the counter to pick four of her favorites. It was a dark chocolate shell with a creamy dark chocolate filling. Absolute divinity. The second was from Pierre Marcolini. I had picked those out - a violet, a cassis, an earl gray, and a something. I ate the something. Much to my disappointment, it wasn't very good - almost sour and sweet at the same time. Not what I look for in a chocolate. This, the third, is another of the Neuhaus. It smells dark, and has Neuhaus imprinted on the top, with a little crown. Here's hoping for another sublime chocolate moment.
