Ghirardelli-chocolate-flavored (by accident) oatmeal for dinner! paired with one Ferrero Rondnoir and one original Ferrero Rocher...ay..chocolate-breaktime!

49 comments:

  1. Ferrero Rondnoir is made exactly like the classic Forrero Rocher, and distinguishes itself from the rest in its rich brown foil wrapping. It's the same size and shape as the golden Ferrero Rocher balls, except it's made with a dark chocolate cream instead of the milk-hazelnut blend, but still enveloped in the crisp, (addictive) nutty wafer.

    The center of Ferrero Rondnoir is a rich dark pearl of chocolate which is surrounded by chocolate cream, then the crunchy wafer and coating. It's then rolled in dark chocolate morsels for an extra crunch.

    - I discovered the Ferrero collection chocolates box by accident din the other week, so I've been hoarding them jealously *wink*

  6. D it like the French, they eat a bar of chocolate with baguettes. Try it it really is good! Or you can let a French chocolate truffle melt slowly in your tongue, close your eyes and dream of eating chocolate mousse laced with Kahlua and slathered with rich cream topped with white chocolate shavings.

  7. Kawawa ka naman, Val! But you can make sinukmani over there, di ba? Tapos gumawa ka ng very dark hot chocolate drink. Isawsaw mo na lang ang sinukmani, di para na ring suman at chokolate.

  9. For sinukmani: cook 2 cups of glutinous rice (malagkit) in 2 cups coconut milk (that's about 1 can of coconut milk with a little water to make it 2 cups) with a thumbsize pinitpit na ginger 9luya) and 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp sugar. Mix everything and cook in a rice cooker.

    Ang tawag nito sa Cebu ay Puto Maya. We usually steam it but pwede na sa rice cooker.

  14. yep, yep...slurp, slurp...

    hot chocolate or sikwate sa amin - my earliest memories are of sikwate paired with fried rice and crispy danggit ..with some sunny-side eggs on the side with a dollop of ketchup...and native vinegar on the side for the bulad!

  27. I baked Banbury Tarts this afternoon. That's mixture of chopped figs, walnuts, raisins which have been sitting on a sherry bath the whole afternoon. Beat 1 egg with 3/4 cup brown sugar and pour into the nut/fig/raisin thing. place a tbsp into pie crust arranged in a muffin pan and bake for 20 minutes. I added 1.2 cup chocolate chips, so pasok sya sa theme ng posting na ito.

    Of course I served it with rich cream. Si Pat di na maka hinga sa busog.

    ReplyDelete
  28. wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh TORTURE talaga DEATH BY CHOCOLATE AT IBA PA HA HA siguro maski ako di makaka hingda sa busog thanks Lou..sarap naman..goodnite at baka me ihabol pa kayo ni Catt eh talaga matutumba na ako sa Gutom ha ha ha

  29. Chocolate-dipped bacon?
    It's a nice contrast of flavors, mix of salty and sweet sensations.

    Alright, chocoholics!
    What we need is a chocolate fondue party.
    In addition to the following ingredients - angel food cake, graham crackers, marshmallows, tiny brownies, tiny cookies, lady fingers, shortbread, amaretti, biscotti, crystallized ginger chunks, or meringues, sliced bananas (grilled + caramelized, even better), apples, pears, peaches, pineapples, dried fruit, citrus sections, strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blackberries ... think jack fruit, durian, sweet potatoes, and lots and lots of chocolate. Oh, I forgot fried grasshoppers.

  38. I think I saw this on tv one time, the foodnetwork or something like that... fried grasshopper, crickets, beatles, and the guy eating them says they were good. Yeah, even a hide covered with chocolate would be chewy good.
