A Lot of Xocolat

Today I decided to give into my chocoholism and visit one of Vienna's finest chocolatiers, Xocolat, located a dangerous four hundred feet from my doorstep. How I managed to stay away before now, I do not know, but yesterday as I was exploring the ninth district, I stumbled upon their manufacturing store, and couldn't help but drool.

I wasn't lucky enough to walk by as they were making the chocolates, but they wisely made the entire storefront out of glass, which makes for some easy viewing. They probably have to clean the glass a lot though, because I doubt many people are able to stop themselves from pressing up against it and salivating.

The store proper, where you can buy ten thousand different kinds of chocolate assembled with genius, has two enormous glass cases full of dozens of different truffles and confections. I went through and read every single placard, but by the time I had finished I had forgotten almost all of them, and even so, couldn't have reasonably sampled everything I wanted. Because I am cruel, here are pictures of things that I got, things that I want, and things that I think are adorable.

Try to restrain yourselves....

	The latté macchiato, which was deliriously delicious.
An Irish coffee truffle with whiskey, eggnog, and marzipan, which looks like a candle from my dreams. Dreams of what I will get next time.
	Wiener Apfestrudel - it's everywhere!
Caramel with Himalayan salt, mmm! Kicking myself for not getting this one either.
	Nothing in my life is complete without pistachios and marzipan.
Thpoooooons.
