It was like eating love. I’m not kidding. That’s the best I can do to describe how delicious, unusual, and complex this chocolate is.
We were given a bar of Liz Marx’ Sweet Nuit chocolate as an engagement gift. It was gorgeously wrapped in clear plastic with a little ribbon, exposing a gold-dusted engraving of beautiful flowers. Almost too perfect to …
