My favorites are the the mango habanero and the peanut butter sizzle (in the delightful shape of a playing card), both of which are made right in town by Heavenly Chocolate
I also love the little chocolate coffee cup, made by Michel Cluizel
there are many others, but for that, you might as well read my yelp review
The real story today is about their new black currant chocolates:
Heavenly Chocolate used to carry a black currant heart made by Knipschildt. Last fall, I noticed that they stopped carrying them, much to my dismay.
Didn’t I ask the owner one day around the holidays why they didn’t carry these any more and couldn’t something be done about it? How I pined and pined for these delectable palate-pleasers? And he didn’t he ask me, with attentive interest, what I liked about them? And didn’t I tell and tell?
Soon, I received an email update announcing that their new black currant chocolates were available.
They are really, really delicious and perfect and even better than what they carried before. They are made with a locally-produced black currant syrup (I know this because I buy this syrup for myself right from the producers at the Amherst Farmer’s Market). And do not worry, my friends, this is not a gooey fruit center, no, the black currant is infused throughout the chocolate ganache interior.
I’ve been wanting to write this up for Thankful Thursday for a long time and it’s enough, enough for a pause of gratitude.
It’s enough, yes, but it’s not all–have you looked outside tonight at the sky? The moon is incredible, just a sliver shy of being full.
Until I was in my 20s, I didn’t know that each month, the full moon has a name.
You know what one of the names for the April moon is? The Pink Moon, of course. How much do I love that? Here are some other names for April’s moon: the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, the Fish Moon, the Planter’s Moon, the Wildcat Moon and on and on.
Heading out for a walk right now or at least to hula hoop under the moon.
