Chocolate!

I have got to show you THE most gorgeous box of chocolates I was lucky enough to receive this Christmas! I didn't know whether to eat it or scrap it!! It was given to me by one of my favourite customers; even the box was juicy and closed with a quiet quality sound. My daughter Aimee took these pictures as I wouldn't let them have a taster until I some pictures. I wondered what the heck she was doing as she built a backdrop and contorted into awkward positions with my camera! She's a real chocoholic and you have to guard your chocolate stash like it was the crown jewels! This box was consumed very very slowly and every mouthful savoured; mostly by me it has to be said, as I shoved the Quality Street's the children's way to keep their insatiable appetite reasonably sated. I think fine chocolate is wasted on the under 20's - under 30's come to that. Let me tell you that the taste was everything I expected, and more. The pictures are really not doing it justice.




Damn fine, yes?

Here is my little thank you note that I sent in return. My daughter proclaimed it to be "too plain" though so I added some "other bits" before sending. Only when she was happy with it did it leave with the postie.



Actually I think this finest of boxes of chocolates deserve a little scrapping. Hang on whilst I go put something together................


....OK, here is my little tribute to my oh so fine box of chocolates.



What is it with us women and our relationship to chocolate? ;-)

Happy New Year Karen!
Are boxes of chocolate that look like that legal? I think it's a crime that they make them look so good. Mind you I would still eat them because it would be more of a crime to waste perfectly good food.
hee..hee..hee...
I love the thank you card and the Christmas cards too!
Have a great weekend.
