March 15 is the official start date of Chocolats Passion's Spring season:  we are likely to still be encased in deep snow, but here is to hoping for green grass and budding trees!  Nothing lifts my spirit like hand painting Passion Frogs and cute butterflies, it makes me dream of tulips, honey bees and the sun on my face... 

The Spring Critters start with the Baby Frogs, or 3 grams each of pure milk chocolate deliciousness:  you can let them melt one at a time on your tongue, or pop-pop-pop them into your mouth, pick your style.  The butterflies are 8 grams and because of their intricate shape, have an even balance of milk chocolate shell to salted caramel ganache.  Ditto for the 18 g. Passion Frogs and the 10 g. bunnies. But if your goal is to have the highest ganache ratio possible, there is no better choice than the 21 g. Hedgehogs, because their fat little bodies are a great receptacle for oodles of salted caramel.  

So let's dream of snow melting away, and of Spring Critters entering the scene...
