Sweets for the Soul

I love sweets. Most desserts that are deemed too sweet for people I know are not sweet at all for me. My favorite is chocolate - dark. We went to Alois Dallmayr right outside the Residence in Munich. Dallmayr used to be the royal family's food supplier. Today it offers gourmet food to all commoners. I chose the Jamaika Rumtruffel from the numerous selections and another chocolate bar with Bavarian liquor. A little alcohol in chocolate makes it more heavenly. That's why Godiva's rum truffels have been my long time favorite. I could have eaten the entire bar last night if I did not have to leave to do something else, which I do not remember. What I do remember is how the chocolate tasted. When the outside chocolate melts in my mouth on first contact, the tip of my tongue detects a thin layer of paste, I presume it's the rum truffel concentrate because the happy feeling instantly shooting up my brain is so familiar. If there is really Charlie's Chocolate Factory, I'd volunteer to work at the Rum Truffel Dept.
