My3Chefs fall 2008. I made these the other night whilst making another recipe for this contest. Siilar ingrediants. I used German Premium Chocolate (Aldi's) and a mix of pecans and almonds. I was unsure about the coarse salt but did it anyway and WOW it really does give you a flavor meltdown. This too will be on my holiday trays. We are a family of chocoolics and each year I am required to make family trays of chocolate dishes. This will be there.
