That Swiss bakery in town has some - but before the chocolate coating goes on, a the almonds are dipped into a thin coating of carmelized sugar (hard crack stage) so thin that it just adds a hint of sweet crunch to the experience! <BR/>You are squirrelling away a lot of subject matter!

Cocoa powder-covered almonds!<BR/>True! :-)<BR/><BR/>I bought candid ginger hand-dipped in the most delicious dark Hanauer Viennese chocolate. <BR/>All gone now. :-(<BR/><BR/>Do they sell chocolate covered chestnut hearts in Paris too or is this a Viennese specialty?

I know the fragrance they emanate when I open that little foil packages with the goodies. I smell them. The shops are open another 40 minutes. Mad dash?<BR/>Oh, how could you! Open with that cute little squirrel (a RED one, not those grey treerats from the East-Coast who are endangering the European Squirrel in Great Britain, they are at the brink of extinction!). And then, all of a sudden, jump those cocoa powder-covered almonds on me. Cocoa powder-covered almonds! Are you going to paint them, too? May I ask for an advance notice when this day will come? <BR/><BR/>Ok, I am serious now. Forget about those cocoa powder-covered almonds! Who wants'em almonds? Natch. This is such an uplifting post (this I really really mean!), I am having so much fun looking at all those store windows. Drooling, really. Oh my goodness, cocoa powder-covered almonds. Oopsiedaisy, I slipped. Sorry.<BR/>Anyway, I see you are happily emerging yourself in French cocoa powder-covered almonds ... oops ... brake ... sorry!<BR/><BR/>Have fun, squirrel away as much as you can, we may need your sweet morsels (yesh! I did NOT write cocoa powder-covered almonds!) when winter rolls around.<BR/><BR/>Stay well! :-)Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-4689680034089174072007-10-11T11:27:00.000-04:002007-10-11T11:27:00.000-04:00I love how you weave squirrels, fall colors, leave...I love how you weave squirrels, fall colors, leaves, nuts, marzipan, mushrooms, children and wardrobes into a darling post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-30879215096777873152007-10-11T09:27:00.000-04:002007-10-11T09:27:00.000-04:00Today we have a cool spell moving through VA, so y...Today we have a cool spell moving through VA, so your post is very appropos, Carol.
