Some of you may know I'm MAAAAAD for chocolate. Dark chocolate to be exact. I can't stand milk chocolate, it tastes annoyingly sweet & it's not even good for you! Anyhow, I came across a site called Gilt Taste. It's a division of the popular site GILT, where you find all things fashion. I love fashion, but GILT Taste was impressive. My husband introduced me to the site - showing me these magical chocolate covered figs. I instantly fell in LOVE & wanted to purchase them! So, I did. Talk about impulsive shopping.
Ok, they weren't the CHEAPEST sweets around, I paid a total of $62 for 16 chocolate covered FIGS.
Have you ever had chocolate covered figs???????? Call me crazy, but it is chocolate & figs, 2 of my favorites!
My husband COULDN'T believe I bought it... but I will bet he changes his mind when they finally get here & he has a taste. Ha! So, to explain more about GILT Taste, it's a site that sells artisanal food products ranging from meats to sweets, produce & even seafood!
The interesting thing about Gilt TASTE is that the products are not easily found in any kind of grocery store & they're sold for cheaper that retail but they're only available for a limited time on their site! Cool huh?
I'd love to know....What's your fave chocolate?? Dark, White or Milk?? & have you ordered from Gilt Taste??
my favorite is from Teuscher chocolate...
ReplyDeleteI've never had chocolate covered figs but they sound amazing! YUM!
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering now-these all look so delicious!
ReplyDeleteGilt Taste always has yummy lookin' treats. I've never made the plunge and bought anything from there yet, but I'll def have to try one day. These look so delicious!
ReplyDeleteMilk.
ReplyDeleteI've had white chocolate covered figs before that were definitely gourmet. I typically like a 70-80% dark chocolate, as long as it still melts in my mouth. Enjoy your treats!
ReplyDeleteim not the largest chocolate fan, but i seriously want an update when you get them in the mail. i've ordered some awesome thigns from there that ive been SO happy with - from macarons, to El Bulli utensils to syrup :)
ReplyDeleteMICHAELA: I do too! 80% is my preference. So weird.... i think anything less feels sweet to me. :)

Oh Jen how I wish i shared your distaste for milk chocolate..I eat wayyy too much of it. But these dark treats look delicious too.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, I love all three, especially Toblerone - its heaven...I haven't tried Gilt but I did have some macaroons in Quebec last year that I keep thinking about ordering from NY as I think a Laduree shop opened...yum! ;-)) PS: I mentioned you in my last blog post - or your apartment!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteJen-- I am an account executive at a custom chocolate company; we only use pure Belgian chocolate. I am happy to hear you're a chocolate lover!!! My favorite chocolate shop in NYC is Kee's Chocolates in Soho---it's on Thompson St. You should try it if you haven't! I would love to send you and your husband chocolate samples--email me katesimons1@gmail.com. :). Xoxo
ReplyDeleteDefinitely it would be dark!! Can't eat milk, and white makes me nauseous. Don't know why.

dark absolutely! Esp the varities with chili powder, sea salt, caramel, bacon, etc, etc, etc-all the trendy savory varities are a huge weakness for me!
ReplyDeleteOH! And if you love chocolate, try Fran's Chocolates. The gray and smoked salt caramels are TO DIE FOR!
