Sucre 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, Sucre offers a variety of gelatos as well as gourmet coffees and even champagne for in-store guests. Everything created at Sucre is handmade from the finest ingredients available and inspired from local, homegrown flavors.
We really liked Sucre's Sugar & Spice Collection chocolate truffles featuring the flavors of the upcoming winter holidays. The three kinds of truffles included were gingerbread milk chocolate, candy cane white chocolate, and eggnog dark chocolate truffles.
We also enjoyed Coconut and Toasted Almonds Artisan Chocolate Bar consisting of delicious dark chocolate and coconut flakes and almonds at the bottom of the bar.

With Thanksgiving and other family events coming up this week I will not be online as much as usual. I will still be on the email and responding to comments but probably not visiting as many blogs as I normally do. I will catch up with everyone's posts and hope to post a recap of my Thanksgiving meal sometime next weekend. Happy Thanksgiving!
