Chocolate mirage?

Who doesn't like chocolate???  I'm sure there are some people that don't care for chocolate ... must say I haven't met too many of them.  Funny thing about chocolate ... I was born and raised in Belgium and moved to the US when I was 18.  When my parents used to come and visit me I always asked them to bring me back Belgium chocolate.  Usually the Cote d'or brand, my favorites are the ones filled with banana cream or the coconut filled bars.  Yummmm.  Back then you couldn't find these in the Bay Area where I used to live.  Now the grocery store where I work carries them so no need to have them shipped from Belgium anymore.  The funny thing is that when I went back to Belgium to visit my family they (usually my dad and my brother) asked me to bring back Hershey's chocolate, they thought that was the cat's miauw!  Everybody thought they were nuts bringing chocolate into the country that's famous for it's own chocolates????  But, they like it.  Just like my dad always liked the Miller Light when he came to visit even though Belgium has sooooooo many breweries and great beer!  Kinda silly isn't it.  Anyway, I was craving chocolate today so I couldn't resist making this treasury.  Enjoy the chocolate!  

My chocolate valentine!

Chocolate runs through my veins!  I was born and raised in Belgium ... that could be the answer.   I guess that was a good enough excuse to make up a sweet chocolaty treasury full of yummies!  No drooling allowed please. 

OMG - Chocolate heaven!

I love chocolate! Not sure if being from Belgium has anything to do with it (I doubt it!) so I couldn't help myself and made this treasury. Some pretty amazing chocolate artists out there I must say. Check out that cake decorated with vintage buttons! It's all edible! They have some other amazing items in their shop, an entire vintage necklace you can eat. Now I must say, even being a choclaholic I don't know if I could eat that since it's just so pretty! So, enough said you have to check out all these shops I put in this treasury they all have amazing chocolate items eatable or not.

Enjoy! and please SHARE the chocolate!

Belgian Etsy Community

Just wanted to share with you all I became a member of the Belgian Etsy Community. I made a treasury with members of that community, except for the first item listed (that was kinda an oops on my part, but since it looks great with the rest of the items I've left it in). Lots of talent here folks so check out all the cool shops listed in this treasury. Christmas is less then 3 weeks away so hurry and do some shopping!
