This time, though, since my friend was going for the same thing, I decided to choose something different, so I ordered the Caramel Hazelnut Praline Petit Pot. It was outstanding! I am not sure why the jars changed shape. Maybe they are smaller or maybe they are just easier to clean. In any case, it was all good, and I think this is my new favourite. The hazelnuts covered the top layer of caramel. They were blanched and a little less woody tasting, but enough to contrast the sweetness of the rest of the conconction. Maybe I had maple syrup on the brain, because it is the time of the Sugar shack, but the caramel tasted a little maple-y.
The most surprising taste of the night, however (and that's a big statement from a sweet tooth) was the earl grey tea I ordered on a whim. I am still not sure what the source is, since the menu online and my google search for the answer did not clarify, but the tea was served without milk or sugar so I took a sip when it had steeped, and it was floral and fragrant and I am ruined forever for the ordinary tea bag! It came in an open bag of sorts, and I don't know leaf tea enough to know where it came from, but it sure was lovely. Maybe it was an error to serve without the usual accoutrements, but the tea was, by itself, a masterpiece! Even beside another masterpiece, it was the superior choice. Fortunately, no choice had to be made!
The Easter showpieces were on display, as well as the usual takeaways. It was tempting and there were many original cute ideas, but my favorite one was the mice on a Swiss cheese chocolate covered marshmallow. Here is the how-to video by Juliette herself I shared with Princess Pirate. It looks like a lot of fun!
