It's chocolate, but not as we know it.

In Peebles today for a wee bit of business, when I stumbled upon an establishment I'd describe as a chocolate boutique.

CocoaBlack is the name of this fine outlet, for all things dark in the world of chocolate and truffles. Handmade heaven! If your idea of chocolate is something from Cadburys or Nestle, then get yourself down here for an education.

Lovely coffee and lemon slice consumed therein, and two hand-made chocs for Mrs M to be carried home.

And no, I don't have any financial interest in this business - other than a plan to spend some money next time I visit.
