Hazelnuts have been all the rage since the dawn of Nutella. But, long before Nutella made its way into the dreams of children and adults alike, hazelnuts have been paired with chocolate to make all sorts of delectable goodies.

Are You Ready For White Chocolate Pringles?
December 6, 2013
This product serves as a simpler sequel to last holiday season’s White Chocolate Peppermint Pringles. White chocolate’s fan base is pretty small, as compared to the humongous number of people who swear by the darker varieties, considered as "real chocolate."
Kellogg's second attempt with Pringles is actually worth mentioning, considering how the prior white chocolate experiment didn’t pan out very well. "Imagine mouthwash gone bad, and then put on a potato chip," says the Huffington Post. Taste testers at Today.com claimed that such chips were “unanimously despised, with one staffer comparing it to a Pringle with ‘a thin layer of toothpaste on it.’"

In our books, the classic chocolate chip cookie remain unrivaled. However, the white chocolate macadamia nut definitely has its own unique charm. It still offers the chocolate we can’t do without, but comes with one of my favorite nuts.

Chocolate Facts You Want To Know
February 15, 2013
Always be choosy with the chocolate you eat. Chocolate is known to be packed with nutrients, but to be able to get its substantial benefits, we must know what we're eating.
Chocolates that have at least 70% cocoa are the best ones, considering the higher the cocoa content, the more nutritious. Your chocolate is also better off non- or lightly alkalized or non-dutched. While milk and white chocolate are head-tilting good, they don’t offer as much healthy flavanols as dark chocolate does.
If you’re not a fan of dark chocolate, fret not. It's actually an acquired taste, and you can develop it by slowly increasing percentage of cocoa in the chocolates you eat. As a matter of fact, there are milk chocolates with 50 percent cocoa or more available in the market now.

December 10, 2012
Among the seasonal Ghirardelli chocolates, Eggnog is my least favorite. Don't get me wrong, I do like a unique and interesting flavor in the confectionery arena.
But the chocolate tasting square is white chocolate and extra sweet, which it has to be to offer such a balanced flavor profile between the sweet nature of eggnog and chocolate.

Strawberry Truffles
January 25, 2012
Truffles are the bomb. They never fail to give us the little pleasure we root for when it comes to chocolates. Below is a recipe for a strawberry truffle which is quite a variation to the conventional chocolate truffle.
Even at first sight, the heart-shaped silhouette of strawberry would give you a hint that it is good for you. They pack a lot of nutritional benefits like vitamin C, fiber, manganese, potassium, and also contain a great deal of antioxidant properties called polyphenols. Strawberries are free of sodium, fat, cholesterol, and are considered a low-calorie food.
Did you know that strawberry is a member of the rose family? Truth be told, it is not actually a real fruit or berry, but the enlarged receptacle of the flower. Interesting, eh?
