I saw this blog from Budget Travel by Meg Zimbeck where she made a virtual Advent Calendar of affordable treats in Paris. I decided to make a virtual Advent Calendar for treats in Seattle. I will include pictures when possible as well as website links if available.
December 1 is more decadent then affordable but today's treat is a Double-Chocolate Calimyrna fig from Fran's Chocolates. Here is a link to their website http://www.franschocolates.com/locations.phpThe retail locations are listed here. You can purchase the figs individually in the stores. I had seen these in a local magazine a while back and then tried them in the store in University Village. These are made from whole, dried Calimyrna figs, filled with a chocolate ganache and dipped in a chocolate coating. Delicious! Probably one could share. If figs aren't youre thing, there are also chocolate apricots (yum!), chocolate-covered ginger, orange peel, nuts, truffles, cups of rich hot chocolate as well as the salted-caramels they are best known for.

About Me
- Isabel
- I am a naturalist, curious by nature. My interests range from the natural world to travel to food, art, music, religion, and culture to name a few. I am currently studying theatre and languages in hopes of performing and/or directing and of being multi-lingual. I have 4 blogs, the first on traveling in Spain, the second on the natural world, but predominately about birds, the third is about life in general, and the fourth is about reading Charles Dickens. My blogging has been more sporadic than I would like. I write to practice writing. And I am inspired to write better when I've been reading Dickens.
