The French profess that the key
to a good life (and staying thin) is to feast on small portions of
highly flavorful foods, including sumptuous post-dinner chocolates. The
Swedes have apparently mastered this philosophy with Emanuel Andren
chocolates, which boast the most undeniably complex, perplexing, and
ultimately satisfying combination of chocalate-ness ever put into one
square inch. And at $98 for 4 pieces - well, it will keep "the 1%" of
you who can afford to experience this lollapalooza in your mouth nice
and thin.
Opening a box of Emanuel Andren is like opening a box to an iPod -
sleek, minimal, beautiful. And once inside, the reward is Apple's
equal. The Dark Rum chocolate? Rummier than Rummy. Whisky Laphroaig?
Smokier than Johnny Blue. Zino Platinum Cigar? I wouldn't trade it
for a Cohiba.
Gents, if there's a special someone you'd like to impress this
Valentine's day, may I just say "Emanuel Andren." And ladies, if you
are on the receiving end of one of these special little boxes, I don't
have to tell you that it's a pleasure worth repaying.
