If you love all things cocoa, don’t miss my latest obsession: an order of chocolates from Paris chocolatier Patrick Roger.

These nuggets of chocolatey goodness can please even the most refined palates with (life-altering) flavors like Peppery Mint Ganache and Citronella and Sichuan Peppercorn Ganache. In fact, they’re so amazing that I’ve placed an order for my deathbed (right next to the assiette du fromage) but there’s no need to wait. Just order online and before you know it these little bites of perfection will be at your door.

If the price for the gift boxes seems a bit steep, just stop by the shop on your next jaunt to Paris. There you can pick and choose a small bag full of “le yum”* for just about 8 Euros. At these prices, get an extra bag and ship it off to your friends in the States. They’re not shipping there yet!

*No, I don’t recommend you say this to Patrick – or to anyone in Paris, actually.

If your expat-Nationalistic (expationlistic?) pride requires that you MUST have Swiss chocolate then grab some pralines from Beschle (they also make stellar homemade ice cream) or Gilgen.
