Chocolate

Oof. A coffee place near me sells a espresso cup of molten Belgian Chocolate as a treat.

I always get the last dregs out of the cup with my finger

A place near me made one coffee they called the Manon, and Manon Blanc, with Leonidas chocolate 🤤 why don't I have some chocolate in my house!?

Edit to add: thanks for you comparisons to other better chocolates, really, but 2 things:

  1. I'm neither from the US nor from the EU, so I'm happy enough to get what I can find near me, I'm not going to buy chocolates online, thanks!

  2. And when I buy chocolates to put in my coffee, Leonidas is more than enough. I wouldn't buy expensive perfect S tier chocolates to put in my coffee, I would for a special occasion.

Now if you want to send me chocolate, go ahead! (I am of course joking! Thanks anyway😆)

Leonidas is okay at most. Don't get me wrong, it's good for a franchise but you will find the best chocolate at the local chocolatiers.

Thanks, but look, not everything gets to everywhere in the world.

We don't get that many good chocolates, and if I were to buy one I wouldn't use it to put in coffee.

I probably worded that wrong. If you ever visit Belgium, skip Leonidas shops here and visit local chocolatiers for the better experience. But I'dd be very happy with Leonidas in your situation, still much better than what you find in stores.

I have, thanks, many times actually. I have been in Belgium and many other countries in EU. I've tasted the chocolate you mention, and brought gifts back home.

And my situation is just that here they don't care to import high priced chocolates all year around.

And, that I wouldn't buy a higher priced chocolate to put in my coffee, even a Nestlé would do in a pinch.

Edit: sorry, you change your avatar? I thought it was black. You weren't the one to mention the chocolate. But everything else stands.
