If there is one dessert universally loved, it is
chocolate. Oh, I know, there are people
who don’t love it, but it seems if you put chocolate in anything, it will be
the first dessert gone from a party. And
we are celebrating chocolate with this year’s entry in the Season’s Treatings series.
We’ve got a platter of delicious looking chocolate
treats. There’s a chocolate Santa in his
decorative foil. There’s a chocolate
cake with a dab of whipped cream on top.
We’ve got some peppermint brownies, or at least brownies with candy
canes on top. There are chocolate chip
cookies, and there are a couple of chocolate cupcakes. All of these goodies are on a white platter
with a green border.
I judge how successful each entry in this series is based on
who much they make me drool. This one is
a winner. I look at it, and all I can
think about is how sinfully delicious each piece on the plate must be. I don’t see how anyone who loves chocolate
could be disappointed by this piece. The
only flaw is the cupcakes, which are so small they look more like the gold foil
than a true cupcake.
Since this is a plate, it has a flat base, so you could set
it out to be displayed. This piece is a
little more three dimensional than pieces in the series usually are, so setting
it out might be an option if it would fit in with your display plans.
The greater three dimensional nature of this piece is also
why it is a rare ornament in the series that hangs almost straight. There is just the slightest tilt to the
right, and it is a rare flaw in the piece, but you can disguise it with some
tree branches.
If you are looking for a series marker, you’ll find it on
the bottom of the platter. This series
has hit double digits with this piece and is still going strong. In fact, based on how quickly this entry has
sold out around me, I think this will prove to be one of the more popular
ornaments in the series.
So if you are a chocolate fan, pick up this ode to chocolate
today. You’ll be sure to enjoy it for
years to come.
Drool over the rest of the Seasons Treatings series.
