Lindt Nuxor, a combination of dark chocolate and hazelnuts! A sure-fire winner in my eyes as it has my two favourite ingredients. Lock them away or they will disappear in minutes!
There are times
that steal your heart
And other times
that fall apart.
Sweets are not really good for you...... but who cares?
Not I
Happy Smile on Saturday
May your Glass be always Full and your plate full of Chocolates.
Best wishes for the New Year as well dear friends!
The theme this week, seasonal sweets, prompted me to create some treats from the left-overs after I had marzipanned the Christmas cake.
Thank you kindly for any views, comments and faves.
Have a good day, everyone!

One of my simple/guilty pleasures - Ghirardelli dark chocolate squares. My favorite are filled with either raspberry or mint. The chocolate square measures 1.25" both ways. HMM, everyone ! !
One of my creations, Almond log with sponge made from roasted almonds, filled with Greek creme Patisserie covered with Vanilla buttercream then bathed in dark coverture!
I felt we all need some sweetness for the weekend:-)
Part of the chocolates on Christmas day,
The large ones are filled with chocolate buttercream and caramel in the middle, the round ones in the center are semi sweet dark chocolate solids, next to them in a circle are the cordials filled with fondant and cherry in the middle,
The ones with sliced Almonds are filled pure almond paste and dipped into a bath of dark chocolate.
ENJOY!
I made these pure almond macaroons Sunday morning after I got home from work, 6 dozen for a birthday party and some for my son to take with him to the city,
His Birthday was the 21 and 2 other family members 26 and 27.
Ganache filled, Dark chocolate infused with Kirschwasser Cherry brandy.
Note, not related to coconut Macaroons, closer to Italian and French Macaron but bit more dense with more almond taste.
I'm not a chocolate fan, but if I do eat it, it has to be dark! For Looking close..on Friday theme 'Chocolate' Hope your weekend is sweet my friends.
Over the years I have made Cannoli dipping the entire shell,
drizzle with chocolate the shell, but the most effective way keeping the Cannoli cream fresh is dipping the ends in chocolate, that seals it,
dark chocolate is my preferred.

Thank you very much for visiting and commenting! Really appreciated!
Jojo bar on the right...does anyone know how good these are? Strawberry dipped in dark artisan chocolate. Have a Sweet Day!
Jojo bars are created by a breast cancer survivor, named Jojo who wanted to satisfy her sugar cravings in a health way.:-) they have pistachios, almonds and cranberries in the dardk chocolate. Made in Canada and hard to find these days. I ordered some recently and due to the heat they arrived as a brick!
Vasilopita "Βασιλόπιτα in Greek" is a New Year's Day bread or cake in Greece and many other areas in eastern Europe and the Balkans, This is traditional Greek sweet bread called Vasilopita. It is a custom of ours to bake this bread and cut it on New Years day with all the family and friends, it is the same bread as our Easter bread with the only difference we put a coin in this one for good luck, who ever finds the coin has good luck for the whole year.
Happy New Year everyone!
Here are some from other years, this Year I made the cake type
from Smirni.
The golden chip sparkles in the afternoon sun amongst all those ordinary chocolate chips...which didn't last very long! For Macro Mondays "Chip(s)" theme. HMM!

Black bottom Macarons was something that I came up with,
The crunchiness of the chocolate cookie adds to the delicious almond Macaron top with dark chocolate drizzle,
Filled with Raspberry jam that is mixed with almond paste,
I was pleased when everyone had more than one.
a bit of white chocolate with peppermint sprinkles covering a dark chocolate base. A taste of winter!
My Granddaughter enjoying her work,
8 Years ago Eleni and her brother helped me make a batch of chocolate chip cookies,
we always did something together, now the phone took over:-)

I don't normally (actually ever) arrange my candy, but I thought this would be a fun project. It included the task of eating some of the imperfectly formed M&Ms. It was a tough job, but someone had to do it. Yes, I know American chocolate cannot hold a candle to European chocolate, but we Yankees make do.

Clive opened a packet of cookies yesterday which were smashed to bits so I had a quick look on line and found a recipe for an easy Tiffin. A quick melt and mix, three hours to set in the fridge and they were done.
My favourite, as a self-confessed chocoholic, is plain dark chocolate - 75% at least! 😊
But it isn't easy to shoot really dark chocolate ... so I decided to cut up the small batons and make a miniature chocolate wall to capture the textures. And of course that lead me to Pink Floyd and "Another brick in the wall". This first part is my favourite of the 3-section album
