So, as I mentioned in my last post, Chris and I went to Atlanta for the weekend to celebrate our 17th anniversary. The kids stayed with my parents and did well. Well enough that my mom actually said that they might keep the kids overnight again at some point in the far future! :D One of the place I wanted to visit was
Cacao Atlanta, an award-winning chocolate shop that makes its products in-house from the purest ingredients. I chose several of their truffles, two macarons, a bag of homemade vanilla marshmallows (for Bailey), and a cup of Azteca Aphrodisiac Sipping Chocolate (voted best hot chocolate in America!) which is rich dark chocolate cocoa infused with six different chiles and spices. It was amazing!! Unique and thick and rich and unlike anything I have ever tried. Chris and I shared an 8 oz. cup, which is petite by my typical drink standards, but we sat together and sipped it for a while. De-lish! So, I have posted a few pics to show you how my truffles were packaged. This is no pop-in-your-mouth-as-you're-walking-out-the-door piece of chocolate, as evidenced by the care taken in packaging them. It takes a few minutes to properly unpackage them, as well. Here's the procedure:
1.) untie carefully tied grosgrain ribbon
2.) remove lid of box
3.) gingerly lift sticker from glassine paper
4.) unfold glassine paper and remove paper liner
5.) take a nap after this exhaustive procedure!
I would post more pics, but it has taken me forever to post these in order. See you soon!!
