Easter Chick Tragedy
Today I enjoyed a piece of one Scharffen Berger "Dark Chocolate Easter Egg (hollow) filled with (chocolate) chicks" purchased at Peet's Coffee & Tea shop while at Santana Row -- an upscale outdoor shopping center/European-outdoor-village -- in San Jose, CA.
Unfortunately, I had put this in my car, and the egg got somewhat melted. Some of the poor little chicks became fused together to the egg inside. What a horrible fate for these little guys. The quality of chocolate overall was great; a very nice dark chocolate, rich fermented taste. Maybe this would be good for a microwave fondue session in the office with some strawberries or fresh fruit.
Fortunately, I was able to go out and see a funny/silly movie ("Blades of Glory") later that night with my boyfriend, to put this tragedy out of my mind.
