I only discovered a love of Creme Brûlée in the last few years, and for some strange reason it has never crossed my mind to combine chocolate with them - genius idea they sounds wonderful. You always have the sweetest little pots - love the spots!

ReplyDeleteCreme brulee is one dessert I tried to stay away as much as possible because it is so sinful! I can literally feel it going straight to my waist the moment I swallowed a mouthful lol! Such sinful treat must be reserved only for very special ocassions! Beautifully done Kit, and those roses are gorgeous!
