Well, after a bit of a chocolate holiday we're back to the taste testing.

L'Artisan du Chocolate makes these stunning little salted caramels



They look like chocolate pearls and taste divine. The pink and black pepper is a lovely combination, but I'm not sure the lemongrass really works as it seems to overpower the chocolate slightly. Still, if you're after a surprise taste in the middle of your chocolate the lemongrass will do that for you. Overall the salted caramels rate as some of the best chocolate I've ever tasted.

If you are lucky enough to live nearby you can pop in and get a small mixed box, otherwise you will be forced to buy a box of single flavour salted caramels or succumb to temptation and buy a much larger box. Which would be such a shame, wouldn't it? All that luscious caramel melting slowly in your mouth... Go on. You know you want to.

Speaking of temptation, next time I order from them I'll want to try some of their chocolate pearls, designed to look like they come fresh from the South Seas complete with that pearly gleam. Can't wait to try them!
