Those two things, Mother’s Day and Chocolate, just fit together nicely, don’t they?
Mother’s Day is celebrated on different days and different months depending on which country you live in. In the United States, it is always celebrated on the second Sunday in May.
We can thank Anna Jarvis for this great day. She is the one credited for founding Mothers Day in the US.
How do you choose the perfect chocolate for Mom?
The choices are plentiful (overwhelming, really) and if you have not gone chocolate shopping in a while, you will be amazed at the variety of exotic new flavors and the gourmet quality of old classics.
Narrow down the choices by focusing on Mom’s fondness:
Floral: try chocolate truffles made with lavender, rose or my favorite, orange and geranium!
Tea: milk chocolate made with flavored teas and chai spices are absolutely delicious.
Fire: chili peppers added to chocolate bring out the intensity of the chocolate and of course, give it a kick.
Savory: don’t judge a book by its cover: chocolate with crystallized ginger, mushroom ganache or goat cheese taste better than you think.
Unique: www.chocomize.com. Just go there and check it out!
Posh: opening a gift box of molded chocolates decorated with sprayed on cocoa butter designs, gold, and glitter will take her breath away. They might look too beautiful to eat, but do it anyway. They taste just as good as they look.
