sweet treat

this weekend d and i are meeting up with his cousins and their babies for lunch and the lovely momma's birthday has recently passed. a bouquet of beautiful flowers was my first present idea but timing didn't allow for ideal freshness, so the close to perfect fall back was chocolates. now i'm not talking typical, store-bought chocolates. i'm talking gorgeous, handmade delicacies from soma chocolatemaker. the second store recently opened on king st w just east of my office and this was my second time indulging. (luckily, the walk is far enough that the exercise justifies the decadence).

i picked out two bars- one dark chocolate with dried berries and the other milk with dots of gorgeous sea salt, a bag of cookies and a bag of english toffee; and for an extra $2 they wrapped it up in the sweetest little box with pink ribbon.

figured while i was there, i might as well have a treat, so i tried a salted caramel and a pistachio truffle... imagine the best chocolate you've ever had, then imagine it five times more delicious! so yummy!

this is definitely the type of treat where quality beats quantity. their philosophy and passion makes it such a great food experience. the next time you need a sweet fix - i promise soma chocolatemaker will not disappoint!
