Hello Petits Fours!

From left to right: chocolate macarons, orange jellies, candy apples, chocolate cake with chocolate mousse

I went to Whole Foods today with my friend, and they were giving out all these free chocolate samples. (Apparently, it had something to do with Valentines Day coming up).  They had some pretty strange things like chocolate cake with beets (surprisingly good) and chocolate with avocado (not my favorite). Of course, they also served “normal” chocolate as well.

My binge of little eats this fine afternoon caused my mind to wander to other small foods, in particular, petit fours. Just when you have finished stuffing yourself with two courses and a dessert, these bite-sized treats creep up on you. Ok, that’s an outright lie. The waiter comes with a tray of these delicacies, presented in such a manner that you just cannot refrain from trying one or two.

I ate these petits fours on my birthday, thus starting off my twenties on a great note.
