I am dreaming of a box of chocolates from Jacques Torres (aka Mr. Chocolate). Is that why the image of this box looks so fuzzy? (No, actually the pretty orange ribbon prevented the box from laying flat in my scanner.) Oh well, I am not dreaming...and because there is no one around I have to set a good example for, I can eat these chocolates for breakfast. Hurray.

"Menage a Trois" in this case refers to a mix of three (undisclosed) flavors blended in one dark chocolate. Does mystery sell chocolate? I'll bet it does. (Patrons are advised "Don't Ask!"...as in we won't give the secret away.) I bought a few, to try to identify what the three mystery flavors were. Honey perhaps?

The Almondine was a little too sweet for my taste, but still good. I was interested in trying a chocolate filled with "crushed candied almonds." That sounds great. The Jacques Torres logo/signature is printed across the top.
