Chocolate Cheese Fudge

I know that I usually dedicate my posts to things I myself have created however I think this latest find must be shared. Chocolate cheese fudge!

During my perusal of sobeys the other day I was on a mission to find a new kind of cheese (new to my tummy anyways). My hubbie was going out of town for a few days and I usually try to turn these lonely evenings into a fun foodgasmic time.

I ended up in the soft cheese section and was hoping someone working there would take pity on me an tell what some of the strange cheeses tasted like. I was decidedly overwhelmed when I saw this tiny brick of something dark brown...upon closer inspection I saw the label and knew I was sold!

I thought that if was as good as I was hoping it would be it should be served with some fresh french bread. You see way back when, when I was in paris I remember having this amazing chocolate cheese that was of course paired with bread and served with some bubbly. I had to at least try to recreate the experience.

So after I headed out to Harvest Bakery for a baguette...I've bought them form various grocery stores and as of late have been bitterly disappointed with the quality. Heavy, mushy and dense loaves try to pass for french bread...nasty...it must have something to do with the flour they use...probably cheap stuff. Anyhoo! I must say that the bread from Harvest was exactly as it should have been! Crunchy outside light fluffy inside!

But back to the cheese. To my hubbie the very thought of chocolate cheese was revolting...which made me less confidant in my endeavor, but I still had to try! It was amazing! The first bite of the cheese was soft and melty. Nary a hint of salt (something I've had issues with some cheese in the past), the cheese was wonderful! You could smell the cocoa when you opened it up; It was never sweet , never salty, just the perfect blend of cheese and chocolate.





It reminded me exactly of the cheese I had in paris, I poured myself a glass of pink bubbly to go with and feasted for the rest of the night. The cheese kind of reminded me in taste of the chocolate chip cream cheese I used to get from the great canadian bagel many years ago without the overly cream taste. I now have a new course for my ultimate dinner party!

Yum Yum Yum!
