Bread & Chocolate is truly a match made in heaven. Bread & Chocolate warms and comforts, soothes and de-stresses. Bread & Chocolate is the perfect energizing breakfast, a most delightful snack for any age, a sumptuous, elegant dessert.
Walk down any Parisian street and see tiny hands grasped around chunks of baguette with a bar of chocolate, dark or milk, sticking out each end or chic young things nibbling on pains au chocolat fresh from the bakery. Wander through any high school bake sale and see loaves of banana or pumpkin or zucchini or orange studded or swirled with chocolate chips, that best of friend to any flavor, the perfect match for lemon or cranberry or any dried fruit or nut in a sweet bread. Ask your kids what they want you to bake for breakfast or choose the perfect snack to pair with a tall, cool glass of milk or a hot mug of coffee or tea and you’ll find yourself stirring up batter for chocolate chip muffins or scones.
Bread & Chocolate: A little shot of carbs followed straight with a bang of chocolate. Whether baguette or flaky puff pastry, warm-from-the-oven scones or dense, moist pudding or just-sweet muffins is your poison, whether you like your chocolate dark or light, crunchy, crispy or gooey, whether you like your bread dotted with chocolate or drenched in the stuff, bread & chocolate turns everyone on (and in more ways than one!). Homey and filling or seductive and elegant, eaten quietly slice by slice or slathered with whipped cream and scooped up greedily, who can turn down that most delightful, that most sensual of combinations, Bread & Chocolate?
When Meeta of What’s For Lunch Honey? asked me to host Monthly Mingle, Bread & Chocolate popped straight into my head. Bread & Chocolate in any form is true comfort food, the stuff of quiet afternoons curled up in your favorite armchair with a good book or doling out treats to rambunctious kids or the first thing we look for to ease both our jet lag and our childlike excitement while on vacation off in some exotic, far-off land. And everyone seems to agree as you can see by this amazing selection of goodies baked especially for Monthly Mingle by all these incredible food bloggers.
So just pull up a chair, grab and knife and a fork and dig in!
