cacau noir

i could (and have been) eating my way through the streets of rio. no matter what block you find yourself on there are spots on almost every corner that serve fresh juices, expertly pulled espressos and delicious bite size savory and sweet baked goods. one of my favorite little shops to indulge my constant sweet tooth in is cacau noir in ipanema and leblon.  they have heavenly delicious and beautifully designed chocolates and to this day i have not found a marzipan, guava or passionfruit filled dark chocolate as lovely as the ones sold here.
