Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - neuhaus chocolate


neuhaus chocolate, another Belgian chocolate surprise around my company that is famous for its pralines. I bit my tongue today, picking up only two pieces of chocolates which includes the chocolate truffle and almond praline. It only cost me four bucks today! That's pretty average for a fresh piece of chocolate at two dollars a pop.

I really can't recall the last time I did not enjoy a chocolate truffle, especially one that is dusted with cocoa powder. I feel that the dark cocoa powder helps to trigger the chocolate taste buds as the rest of the chocolate just melts in your mouth. Absolutely delicious! As for the almond praline, the beautifully built exterior made me not want to eat the chocolate, but as I bit into it, the gush of caramel-texture that comes running out. Doesn't have a blast of almond taste, but its not bad. Don't mind my photo, the dusting of the chocolate makes it look dirty.

Sweet Tooth Satisfaction – Leonidas


Yes I absolutely love chocolate and I am always scrambling to find new favorites. I love walking to and from work in the city, shuffling up and down random blocks to find new stores. One of my discoveries today: Leonidas. Fresh Belgian chocolates that seem to just make me super duper happy, and it’s a few blocks from where I work—another plus!

The prices of these chocolates are a little over a dollar a piece, which is 50% off to me, since I always spend an average of two dollars a piece! I’m not going to lie, I already forgot the names of the chocolates I bought and it’s a bit difficult to find them online. What I do know is that the wrapped chocolate is a milk chocolate hazelnut bar, there’s also a chocolate ganache, there’s a little peanut butter cup like, one piece that I don’t remember at all, and there’s my ultimate favorite chocolate truffle that is a must get form every chocolate store.
