Les Perles

Valrhona, a famous French-based chocolate manufacturer, that in my opinion (and many others), makes the best chocolate in the world has a product I recently found that takes their perfect chocolate to a whole new level!
(French for “the pearls”) are tiny little round balls of crispy cookie encased in a dark chocolate shell. The center tastes and has the texture of a sugar ice cream cone, and the exterior has a thin, hard, chocolate shell, that gives way to a softer chocolate coating. The combination is amazing and I can eat them by the handful (which is more obnoxious than amazing)!
On my current dessert menu, I am folding them into chocolate frosting, which I use on a classic chocolate layer cake. It gives the dessert a great crunchy texture, which is similar to the combination of a candy bar and cake. What could be better than that?!
