Sweet Cioccolata in Wallingford, CT

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Found at SweetCioccolata.com and in mortar at 28 North Colony Road in Wallingford CT, Sweet Cioccolata offers up a bevy of chocolates at the usual confectioners prices.

The truffles (of the batch we tried at work) were flavored well, with one of the thicker fillings I’ve had in a truffle. What we were really after, the chocolate covered strawberries, weren’t available. Probably due to the season.

Service was good and the small shop has about the most chocolate confections I’ve seen per square foot.

So if you’re looking for some specialty chocolates next time you’re in downtown wallingford (it’s on the North Avenue side of the town center area at the bottom of the hill, coming down from the post office and muni buildings) give them a shot.

We’ll see how the caramels are the next time I’m by there :) .

Sabra Hummus

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

So I’m trying a new brand of hummus, having recently gone on a binge of chick pea based fair. And I must say, the best Hummus is by far and away Sabra. If anything it might be a tad too creamy for a proper hummus, without a bit of that grainy texture you usually get from chick pea based spreads.

If you’ve ever decided against hummus in general based on it’s texture you might want to give it a try. I found it up in the North East US in a Shaws, your mileage may vary.
