As in Chocolove Chocolate Bars with a Love poem!
I found out about this Belgian chocolate brand after a yoga class - I tried the Ginger Crystalized in 65% Dark Chocolate. Whole Foods carries them, so while still in a state of chocolate Zen bliss, I got another bar and the Almonds & Sea Salt in 55% Dark Chocolate. And they were on sale, too. There you go. What is also cool is the "Love" poem inside the wrapper. This was the one underneath the Almonds & Sea Salt --
From Astrophil and Stella
Who will in the fairest book of Nature know
How Virtue may best be lodged in beauty be,
Let him but learn of Love to read in thee,
Stella, those fair lines, which true goodness show.
There shall he find all vices' overthrow,
Not by rude force, but sweetest sovereignty
Of reason, from whose light those night-birds fly;
That inward sun in thine eyes shineth so.
And not content to be Perfection's heir
Thyself, dost strive all minds that way to move,
Who mark in thee what is in thee most fair.
So while thy beauty draws the heart to love,
As fast thy Virtue bends that love to good;
"But, ah," Desire still cries, "give me some food."
Sir Phillip Sidney
(I like how this was continued from Chili Cherry and continues on Peppermint.)
Neat concept, great tasting chocolate, even a pretty label.
Wouldn't this make a great Valentine's gift?!
All good!
Namaste!
