Dessert Smörgåsbord with Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolates
No real recipe to speak of here -- just sharing some photos that I'm proud of and some things I love to eat with Ghirardelli chocolate. Ghirardelli sent me some Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate bars to review, and although I usually pass on reviews, I LOVE their chocolate and had no problem being exuberant about them. My fave has always been the 60% cacao chips/bars, but they have some new flavors I love, too.
Dessert Smörgåsbord with Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolates
Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking
Yield: as many servings as you'd like!
I call this a dessert smörgåsbord, but if I'm going to be real, I had this for breakfast the other day. The point is, these foods pair beautifully with Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolates any time of day.
Ingredients:
Salted pretzel rods
dates
toasted coconut
toasted pecans
a Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate bar (I prefer the 60% cacao Evening Dream, but Hazelnut Heaven, Toffee Interlude, and Sea Salt Soirée are close behind!)
Directions:
Hunt and peck your way through the dessert smörgåsbord, combining and alternating flavors. I always advise to eat Ghirardelli chocolate with a warm drink or none at all -- cold foods/drinks drastically change the experience by preventing some of the melt that occurs when you chew. That's where all the flavor is! So avoid cold milk and ice cream with your dessert buffet.
Note: While I was compensated for my time and groceries and provided with lots of delicious chocolate, I never, ever share products with you that I'm not personally enthusiastic about, and that's a promise!
To read about how this chocolate relates to a free faucet, see more photos, and enjoy reading about the ridiculous circumstances under which I ate each chocolate bar, please head over to Willow Bird Baking!
