About


Vanilla and Espresso are both wonderful flavor enhancers in chocolate dishes.  If you do not have Vanilla Sugar, you can always use regular and add a dash of vanilla.  If you do not have an Espresso or Coffee infused Sea Salt, you could also use regular and perhaps a pinch of instant espresso.  This is very rich, especially if Dark Cocoa is used.
