Guilty/not guilty pleasure.

Bernard Callebaut.  In a word, this is it, my guilty pleasure that I don't feel guilty about at all. 

I was first introduced to them when I worked in Calgary, I used to take the bank deposit to the Scotia Bank down the street which took me right by the retail store for Bernard Callebaut.  One of their practices was to have counter samples that would introduce you to new flavours.  Oh my!!!  Delicious.  

Handcrafted chocolates with delightful creamy fillings. Not overly sweet, just flavour, flavour, creamy flavour.  It has been a love of mine ever since. They feel so decadent and luxurious. 

I think finding things that make our experiences better are important things to figure out.  It can take some time to pay attention to what these things are. Our desires are important.

Despite our desires being important, it can be hard to allow ourselves to have our desires.  We have been told 'no' thousands of times in our childhood and I think as adults we are accustomed to saying 'no' to ourselves. 

Often we say no for the sake of family or other priorities.  Sometimes it's necessary, but when and where we can, allowing our desires is important. 

These chocolates are one of the those desires that I allow myself.  

If you'd like try them for yourself I'll include the web address here.

If you live in the White Rock/South Surrey area you can visit the retail store in Peninsula Village located on 24th Avenue just east of 152nd Street. 

If you do try them, them me a comment below.  Perhaps you have already tried them or some other guilty pleasure.  I'd love to hear about it.
