FOR THE LOVE OF... TREATS

There is a lovely sweets shop here in Richmond by the name of For the Love of Chocolate. They have absolutely anything and everything that an experienced sweet tooth, like myself, could want. My husband and I are wise enough to not frequent the store often. That could have disastrous results to our body's blood sugar levels as well as our pocket book. We happened to be in the neighborhood over the weekend, so we gave in to temptation and visited the shop.
I found rose water, which I've been casually looking for for some time now. I have a feeling a rose tea cake recipe will be gracing the blog in the next week or two. They had a nice selection of vanilla beans and extracts that I had to quickly move away from as to not buy the whole lot.
My favorite find was a box of Italian mints. They had a handful of flavors, including absinthe, but I had to pick up the violet flavored ones. On top of having rare and wonderful flavors, the packaging is simply beautiful.
