He did this recipe while we were in the Coromandel, so in the perfect setting. It was so delicious we had it 2 nights in a row. Mmmhhhh… just thinking about it already makes me want to have it again!

As a chocoholic, I of course had to try the chocolate here and was quite surprise to find some that is high up there with some Swiss and German brand in taste and quality.

So the recipe is: Come to NZ and buy it or try and see if they export it :) Our favourite ones: Almond Gold and Coconut.
