I love both of those flavors. I went to the site and selected some goodies. Wonder if I will just drool and fantasize about how the chocolate will taste, or click-it and buy? We shall see...

But how interesting that you don't see them in local shops, I wonder why. Wrapping little chocolates in tinfoil -- thousands of them -- that must have been quite a job.

If I had to pick a favorite among the larger bars, it is probably the Earl Grey tea, but that one is arguably weird & maybe not to everyone's liking. And hey -- spring is coming, and I'll have to slow down on the chocolate intake soon or I won't be in shorts & swimsuits this summer! Hugs to you, and now I want some truffles :-) My favorite is the cardamom.

But they all sound quite intriguing... I have a strange relationship with chocolate. Usually I don't really care but sometimes I get this craving and then I eat half a bar – I know, not a lot. I'm more for the savory – I remember in Berlin there is a chocolate restaurant, where you get all sorts of dishes made with chocolate. A friend once made chicken in chili-chocolate sauce, which was absolutely delicious. Apparently a Mexican thing.

Can you believe I work 30 minutes away from the Dolfin factory and have NEVER heard of them?! Haven't seen them in any shop here in Belgique. I feel an unworthy chocoholic :-) There's this whole world of chocolate flavours out there that I do not know about. I must go and investigate and think I'll start with cardamom and aniseed. Love the wrapper, by the way. My very first student job was in a fancy chocolate shop in Antwerp where they manufactured their own chocolates. I worked there for two weeks over the Easter holidays and my task was to wrap the little Easter eggs & chocolate hearts in colored tinfoil, literally thousands of them. And I had to stack the pralines in pyramids. Of course I also ensured quality control and rigorously discarded any chocolates that were not perfect (i.e. you could eat as many of them as you liked :-) I was only rarely allowed to go into the shop to wait on the customers, who were mainly wealthy people from the diamond trade and were said to be very demanding. The glamour of it all! ilse Hey Robin,
