Chocolates from Paris - 24 April 2013

I love Paris and all the wonderful patisseries and chocolatiers that can be found everywhere you look when strolling around the streets of Paris. My hubby came back from a work trip yesterday and brought a little gift... He went to Las Marquis de Laduree which is a sister shop to the famous Laduree.. with the difference that they concentrate on everything chocolate.. yes, they do macarons but with chocolate fillings only. They also do amazing chocolate truffles, bars and squares. The packaging itself is just beautiful too!

I tried all the macarons last night.. amazing (for the flavous click here)
they were all gorgeous but i really liked the Chocolate and red berries and the Chocolate and yuzu... tart and chocolatey at the same time. The passion fruit and white chocolate was lovely too (hubby's favorite) fresh and creamy with the white chocolate and some acid from the passion fruit.

The absolute surprise was the "Palais fleurs" Gorgeous discs of white chocolates each flavoured with either crystallized Jasmin, Rose or Violet and an added crunch of tiny bits of caramelized almond. One word= DEVINE
They are in the clear tube on the left in the top photo.

I also got a box of hand picked chocolates.. they look lovely too but i need to spread the eating out over a few days!!! Sneak peak photo below :-)
