Sucre Review and Giveaway

Sucré is a New Orleans based confectioner known for their delectable, hand-crafted artisan chocolates as well as their scrumptious pastries and macaroons, which are even Oprah-approved. They are located in the heart of the Garden District on Magazine Street and in addition to their home-made and hand-crafted chocolates and pastries, Sucré offers a variety of gelatos as well as gourmet coffees and even champagne for in-store guests. Sucré (French for sugared) is an emporium of "artisan". Unlike a traditional bakery, Sucré serves plated desserts with custom garnishes in addition to boxed treats that are also sold online. In exchange for this review I was sent a delicious Sicilian Pistachio & Rose Petal Chocolate Bar. It's made of milk chocolate and studded with Sicilian pistachios and candied rose petals. I love pistachios and milk chocolate is my favorite so I couldn't wait to try this. I've never had candied rose petals before so I was anxious to try them also. The chocolate bar was amazing! The chocolate combined with the nuts and the sweet rose petals was a perfect combination!

If you've got a chocolate lover on your gift list this year or need a gift for someone who loves sweets you should definetly check out Sucré. Here's a code for $5 off of shipping (or shipping for $4.95) Code: SPCA

A portion of every dollar spent online will go to benefit the LA/SPCA.
