The Best Kind of Houseguest ...

The best kind of houseguest ... brings chocolate.  A stellar houseguest brings GREAT chocolate.

We had a visitor from New Zealand recently who ranks at the top of my list.  She cleaned up after herself, didn't stay too long, was friendly to our unruly dogs, but best of all, she brought us some of the best, swear-to-god TO-DIE-FOR chocolates from the Chocolate Boutique in New Zealand. 

They were tasty and SO pretty.  Little swirly decorations and fancy shapes, melt in your mouth chocolate, and different flavored fillings and centers that were just right, not too sweet, truly something amazing. 

I would love to show you what they looked like, but unfortunately, this is all that's left:

Ok, I'll fess up, I'm the nibbler.  But I was polite.   I waited until the hubs wasn't looking.  And as you can see, I didn't leave too many bones in the boneyard.

I found their website here.  Now I just have to see if they'll deliver.  Overseas for less than an arm and a leg, intact, not melted, even when shipping to Arizona in the summer?  Oh well, that's probably asking too much.

I love that saying have been quoting it to all my friends, "A stellar house guest brings GREAT chocolate." Checked out their site, happy to see they deliver internationally.

I think it's a great idea. Sure beats trying to figure out what to make for dinner! ;

I've never considered this but I think it's probably accurate. I should bring more chocolate to people's places when I stay. Of course I'm kind of poor right now so...I'm not sure that I'm ready to implement that at the moment. But I'd like to, and certainly intend to. Who doesn't like chocolate? Who?

I love that mouthwatering chocolates...It is very common to present chocolates on Valentine's Day and usually with bouquet of flowers.This could also be a nice gift idea..

Having been born and bred in NZ (before moving to Australia many years ago)I can attest to the fact that I believe NZ chocolates and ice cream are the best. I have traveled and tasted both these essentials of life extensively and still feel that NZ just edges out the rest. Mind you I don't believe there are too many chocolates that don't pass the taste test.
Love your site by the way

Wow- what a great blog! 2 loves of my life: chocolate and coffee! These chocolates sounds so yummy. I would love to sit on a comfy chair by the fire with the chocolates, a good coffee and a book- my kind of relaxation! I found this great site that actually gives a guide for pairing coffee with desserts, you should check it out: www.coffee-illuminated.com
Great blog!

I ma also a chocolate lover and I love drinking coffee while eating chocolate. You're very lucky to have a guest like that.

I have to admit I am a chocoholic and tea lover also. My sister-in-law says 'one can't just eat a little bit of chocolate ~ You have to make like a meal of it!'

I think it's a great idea. Sure beats trying to figure out what to make for dinner! ;-)
