Yes, it is Harmony, but it comes packaged differently, in little 1.75 oz
boxes with five little foil wrapped chocolate bars in each tiny box.
Or, perhaps it came the same way before and I forgot.
I got them at the Chocolate Show in November. The chocolate does not
seem to be as flavorful as it was before. I had a lot of it and gave
some of it as Christmas gifts, but I still have more than a pound left
over for baking.
Thank you for the recipe for the Death By Chocolate Cake. I may try it,
if I don't use it for Mousse.
Right now, I feel too lazy to make anything. I baked too much the last
few weeks, for Chanukah, Christmas and just for visitors who dropped in.
MAYA, thank you for the URL for the dessert recipe site. I have already
added it to my recipe folder and will try several things in the near
future.
A healthy and happy and sweet year to all, Margaret
