A chocolate Christmas

Whether you prefer a spectacular dessert or a simpler sweet to share, chocolate has a unique talent: it puts everyone in agreement. It comforts, it impresses, it makes the table shine... and it always tells something a little tender.

This year, let yourself be tempted by a chocolate dessert (or two, or three): a log for the "wow" effect, a few truffles to accompany the champagne, a brownie for the kids, or a minute fondant to finish the meal gently.

After all, Christmas is the perfect time to indulge... and chocolate knows exactly how to do it.
