I got chocolate for Christmas from Active Solution. Or rather, I along with everyone else got to choose from a range of delicious, mysterious options under the tree: chocolate, coffee, cheese, oil, or sausages. Among those options I naturally chose chocolate – and when I opened my mystery box on Christmas eve, it turned out to contain the most luxurious, decorative set of pralines I’ve ever seen. Sparkly golden pralines, pralines rolled in freeze-dried raspberries, or in flower petals. Some perhaps don’t quite qualify as chocolate (white chocolate isn’t!) but they’ve all been not just pretty but also delicious and interesting. The one rolled in green herbs tastes like a forest. I’m looking forward to finding out what the cornflower blue tastes like.
