The chocolates at Que Bo!, a shop in my neighborhood, are almost too pretty to eat. They look like marbles, almost.
One bite and it’s over. You want to eat all of them at one sitting, preferably with a big glass of wine.
Que Bo had a booth at the Chocolate Experience, and I happened to see the store on my way home from the supermarket today. I bought a slice of chocolate-dipped, chilied mango (how could I not?), and horchata, jamaica, mole, green tea and goat cheese chocolates. (I saved the saffron and red-wine flavors for next time.) They also sell gigantic brownies and chocolate cakes.
Since, you know, my glass of vino was already out, I went ahead and ate the horchata one while I was typing this. Creamy, sweet… mmmmm.
She is officially blissful.
Speaking of mangos, there is a delicious dessert – mangos con leche – that is served alot in Mexico – at least from what I remember when I went to Mexico for several weeks in ’02. I’m sure you’ll try it at some point. I love your blog, and keeping up with your culinary adventures as well as your other experiences. Miss you!
