LA MAISON DU CHOCOLAT

My favorite chocolate store! And they now even carry 100% extreme chocolate bar!

As they say chocolate is healthy.  So if you want to lessen your sugar intake, instead of those diet sugar, this is the best way to have a healthy chocolate. I think this is the first time I have seen a chocolate bar with 100% on it.

They Also have hot chocolate. I ordered the dark chocolate:

It can be served with a bit of whipped cream on the side. This is not too sweet.

When available, they do sell hot chocolate mix. Just follow the instructions and you can have your own hot chocolate at home with a warm croissant from your favorite source.  In my case, I have been eating this little chocolate pellets to satisfy my chocolate cravings in tiny portions.  They're so good as is.

The remarkable quality of their ingredients and gifted craftsmanship is what makes their chocolates truly shine.

CRONUTS

Dominique Ansel is one of my favorite French pastry shop from the time they opened.  First they made my favorite hard to find kouignamann.  Now, their chef has just created the mist in demand donut ever called Cronut - a hybrid between a croissant and a donut.

This is a must have - if you are lucky to get there before they're gone. 

Just like the kouignamann , every time I used to come when it first came out, I would be lucky if they still had some.  That was popular but since the name is originally from Brittany, it's not as popular as the cronut.  After all, this is the USA and we sure know what donuts are.  And we also love croissants. 

Watch out Doughnut Plant!  Don't worry Doughnut Plant, I still love the coconut donuts and your creme brulee donuts.
