Hooked on… silky smooth sublime CHOCOLATE!

Thanks to Julia at Hooked on Houses for hosting Hooked on Fridays :-)

It’s Easter weekend—the perfect time to be hooked on yummy chocolate!!

When we went to Belgium a couple of years ago, there were two foods I had to try—Belgian fries and Belgian chocolate. The fries were good. The chocolate… BEYOND good!!!! We went to The Chocolate Corner and The Chocolate Line and Galler and lots of other chocolate stores that I can’t remember the names of.

I came home with boxes and boxes and more boxes of chocolate. Some for us, some to give friends and family. Then the some for friends and family became more for us!! Eventually, the boxes of chocolate all disappeared. But the memories of those silky smooth sublime sweets still linger…

I ate dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate…

…and my favourites, pralines… YUM!!!

Solid chocolates, striped chocolates, and chocolates filled with more chocolate…

Chocolates shaped like shells and swans and horses and cats…

But I didn’t eat any chocolates shaped like boobs…

Or this…

Galler is a Belgian chocolatier. Galler has stores all over the world, and was appointed Belgian Royal Warrant Holder in 1994.

Lagrange 34 is a chocolate maker in Torino, Italy. In their words…

They make chocolate into these cool shapes…

This one is actually a raised map of Torino!!

Victoria likes chocolate too. Her favourite is the sugar-free peanut butter cup from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Vancouver…

That’s not Victoria—just some random naked lady I found on Flickr ;-) But that IS a humongous Rocky Mountain peanut butter cup!!

And what would a home decor blog be without a chocolate headboard in an edible chocolate hotel room designed for Godiva by Jonathan Adler…

Wishing you all a very chocolatey Easter!!

Now head on back to Hooked on Houses to see what everyone else is hooked on this week…
