Gourmet Chocolate

You know, when I say Gourmet Chocolate, I mean this very tasty Godiva chocolate, from the speciality shop in Belgium.... Great stuff! Their chocolate truffels or the chocolate covered strawberries are just out of this world. You most likely find these in a speciality chocolate shop. If you're a lover of this fine dark chocolate, then you certainly know where the next one near you is located. When I was a kid, the chocolates basically were all just chcolate bars. Now you can get just about any form or object, be it a chocolate bunny, a chocolate cigar or a chocolate coin.

Chocolate Fondue Fountain

Obvously there are other great things one can do with this brown beautiful stuff, gift giving is just one very popular way of letting other participate in the great pleasures that it gives. Have you ever tried a chocolate fondue? To enjoy it, you really need a chocolate fondue fountain, which is quite a complicated installation. Even though it tastes great, I know of nobody who would want to eat it ore than once or twice a month. Therefore it's usually more economical to rent the chocolate fondue fountain. Just look for 'chocolate fountain rental' in any search engine and you'll find shops who actualy rent them out, you may want to look also for 'chocolate fondue set'.

Baking Chocolate

Do you remember when Xmas was approaching and mothers, grandmothers and all other female members of the family were starting to bake all the seasons goodies? I allways tried to pinch some of the baking chocolate that was ready to cover the different fruit and nuts like chocolate pecans, chocolate apples and chocolate covered raisins.

Bakers chocolate, as baking chocolate is also called, tastes actually very good! If you have never tried it just as it comes out of the packing, then you have missed something! Bakers chocolate can not only be used to make chocolate sauce! - It used to be an art to keep the chocolte at just the right temperature to work with, waterbath and all.... Not anymore today, for avid cooks there is a chocolate tempering machine, which does it most likely better than any human. The elctronic chips make sure the temperature is allways right!

Chocolate Gift Box

When I visit friends or go for business trips, I allways have a t least one or two chocolate gift boxes with me. If for any reason a small gift is needed, I can just step out to my car and I have something that allways gives pleasure! It's definitevely better than a simple chocolate bar. I try to give fair trade chocolate and sometimes I even explain the system to the person who gets the gift. The idea to have the farmers in third world countries getting a fair price for their work appeals to me.

When you visit soembody how suffers from diabetes, you should make sure you only give chocolate free sugar. Chocolate as such is a very healthy food, the cacao in it holds thousands of different nutrients and it is said, that especially dark chocolate is very healthy. Don't know if this is the case for pink chocolate? ... Just joking! Pink chocolate are these funny bath soaps and gels that all smell like chocolate. Personally I'd rahter eat a chocolate wafer than use a pink chocolate soap. Matter of fact, if given half a chance, and the menu in a restaurant offers it, then I have to taste their chocolate dessert, especialy if they have a chocolate fudge. Not all chocolate fudges are the same, but in my oppinion, they are all good, some are just a lot better!

I'm allready loking forward to my own chocolate gift basket!
