chocolate

I had never heard of Whoopie Pie until it came up in a Twitter conversation, with a friend from Pennsylvania. Now, I really want to try one of these traditional Pennsylvania Dutch treats! Made by sandwiching a thick, sweet filling between two round chocolate cakes, I think these could be seriously addictive. It’s probably a good thing they aren’t sold at my local grocery store, or I’d be serving them for dinner. Look at that thing! It’s like a Double-Stuf Oreo with 50 times the Stuf!

Mmmmmmm, little chocolate tart. What a tease, with that crispy pastry crust, tender chocolate filling, and flirtatious curl on top! Who could resist such a tempting treat?

For Mother’s Day weekend, my family took me on a day trip to Nashville, Indiana. If you’ve never been there, it’s a cute little art colony, with galleries, shops, and sweets shops all over the place! I stopped by the Nashville Fudge Kitchen and indulged in a few treats. One was this beautiful 1/2 pound block of peanut butter chocolate fudge. It was delicious!

And by the way, you can’t imagine the smell inside that shop! The warm, buttery, fudgey aroma was thick, sweet, and heavenly!
