CHOCOLATE

The other day someone offered me to pick the first piece in a box of Paradis chocolates.

Paradis is the milk chocolate version of the very popular chocolate box Aladdin which contains both dark and milk chocolates. Aladdin has been around since 1939 and is usually sold in all Swedish supermarkets, they are seen all over the place at Christmas time when it's extremely common to purchase these as Christmas gifts or as a bring-along-present to Christmas parties/dinners. There are 2 layers (of the same chocolates) in these boxes and the rule is NOT to start the second layer before finishing the top one. One can choose from many different chocolates in these boxes; coconut-caramel, cream nougat, cherry, liqueur truffle, rum-raisin, triple-nut, orange truffle, egg liqueur and my favorite "the pearl nougat" which is nougat covered in white chocolate, it's placed in the middle of both of the boxes, but someone always grabs it before me.. But now I had the chance to indulge!

Last night the famous Swedish TV hosts Filip & Fredrik aired the very first episode of "Söndagsparty" (Sunday party) which is sent live from Chelsea Studios in Manhattan. It was alright, but they had 2 interesting guests where Marilyn Manson was one of them, he was sipping on absinthe, but was then offered a piece of chocolate from a Paradis box and picked...*drum whirl* .. the Pearl Nougat!

I'm SO Marilyn Manson..
