Swiss Chocolates

 

We splurged and got these expensive Swiss hazelnut chocolates from Laderach at Yorkdale mall.  250G was about $40 Cdn.  They hand out free samples and that was our undoing.  


One of my sisters who makes her own chocolate wanted to see the hazelnut cut in half, curious to see how much they roast theirs.

It's delicious, I had a grandma on the Swiss border and we always walked over there and bought the chocolate.

Those free samples would probably have the same effect on me, especially if there is chocolate involved. That sure looks delicious.

My husband and I love dark chocolate. Personally, I prefer nougat most of all. But I would never buy this completely overpriced product at that price. It’s interesting to make good chocolate yourself from cocoa beans.

I have Swiss chocolate here, too, for in case my sweet tooth wakes up, Toblerone. Will last a looooong time. Other Ingo finds it.

Free samples certainly can be an undoing, but these do sound yummy.
