Living where I live there are new little shops popping up day to day, one more fabulous than the other and with more than half of them I don't even get the chance to stick my head through the door before they are gone again.
I was very much hoping this would not be the case with Dark Sugar.
Walking past this amazing chocolatier shop every day, smelling wonderful dark quality chocolate over the Brick Lane curry houses it is really a disaster that a chocolate lover like me have not been in yet. I think deep down I have been worried of repeating the scene from the movie Chocolate, where the town's mayor succumbs to temptation, breaks into the chocolate shop and falls asleep in a pile of cocoa right in the window display.
Believe me, it could happen.
Needing a hostess gift for Little Man's birthday party, I finally had an excuse to go in. Spending 20 pounds on chocolate pralines to eat on your own in circa 2 seconds whilst watching East Enders has never quite seemed good enough.
My timing was for once excellent and managed to enter the store just as a chocolate tasting was happening. And suddenly it was ever so clear why chocolate has been labelled food of gods. The samples were like chocolate explosions in my mouth with whiffs of red chillies, freshly ground Colombian coffee beans and clotted cream toffees.
Composing my very own box of luxury chocolates I mastered up enormous amounts of will power not to eat them in the store, walking to the tube, sitting on the tube and walking from the tube. Not quite sure how I did it.
To the very lucky owners of the spectacular box of chocolate - you better be enjoying them!
