Connoisseur Vodka Filled European Dark Chocolate


These vodka filled cholates by Connoisseur are quality chocolates and hopefully available at a Giant Tiger near you!  Unfortunately the Giant Tiger in southwest Edmonton is closing down this week but the manager told me that the remaining three stores in north Edmonton are going to continue to do business. I picked up the last three boxes they had in stock so don't go to the southwest location! Here's the back of the label for further info. No weird ingredients and no nasty artificial taste! Note they are Made in Germany - enough said when it comes to chocolates! I believe I paid $2.77 for the box but perhaps that was close-out price? Worth far more.


I was in the mood for some fun, festive baking so decided to go with some snowflake sugar cookies - glazed with icing and sprinkled with crushed peppermint. I used a recipe I previously posted back in 2009. Check it out here.  I liked the result - pretty, pink and sparkly!
