the scoop on everything related to luxury chocolate

Ouef Croquant Cocoa Locoa's dark chocolate and crispy rice egg for Easter looks pretty yummy. It comes in milk chocolate too. Pretty original, although their bunnies look strikingly farmilliar to Vosges. I wonder who got a hold of the mold first?
yup! yummy huh, I like that it's different. Off subject, I know that this is a chocolate blog but I'm extremely frustrated with the state of shopping in NYC. Not only is clothing way overpriced (I tried on a $700 cotton shirt today) there seems to be a general lack of creativity. If I'm dishing out rent for a single piece of clothing, I'd like it to be distinctive. Everything more or less looks exactly the same. Oh, then there was this handbag--concept completely ripped off--it was a cross between a Balenciaga Bag and a Chloe Pattington. Even had a padlock. I found it in another prominent designer's store. They had the nerve to ask for upwards of a grand for it. If you're gonna sell borrowed concepts, atleast at a discount! I came home without a single shopping bag:( But I did enjoy this awesome chocolate cheesecake with a side of ricotta gelato from a really cool Italian restaurant called Regional on the Upper West Side. Chocolate always makes it better!
lol. not really, there are tons of places to shop without breaking the bank. It's just frustrating when you're in the spending mood and you can't find a thing! You should come. I'd be happy to show you around!

So, it's kinda like a egg shaped chocolate rice crispie square?

I have a dream of going on a shopping spree in NYC, but I'm assuming that I'll have to wait until I win the lottery.

I may just take you up on that someday!
