OK, pure unfettered and unpaid adulation here.
I've had a chance to sample the wares from Lady Rowley's, the chocolatier stepping in to take the place of our lamentably departed prior chocolate source.
It's VERY good. I think my favorite so far are the dark chocolate truffles - there's a touch of cinnamon (I think) in the outer layer, and the combination is pretty durned intense.
It's going to be a good year :^)

I've sampled Lady Rowley's wares at private events for a couple of different guilds over this last year and they're top-notch. Tried some delicious dipped berries at a handfast/wedding (an awesome "bouquet" in lieu of a wedding cake) and a few (well, maybe more than a few) assorted truffles as well, and let's just say that I'll definitely be on queue come opening day. I know that the good Lady is anxious about her first venture as a faire vendor, but she definitely has the high quality product to make good!! -

Re: RPFS '07 Chocolate booth ROCKS.
Mon, March 12, 2007 - 7:18 AMHOWEVER... I just learned via emails with her... being both a confirmed Chocoholic, AND a Diabetic... that though she will offer some 'no sugar added' items, they WILL use a sweetener that causes 'stomach distress' if taken in 'large quantity'........ but, just how much IS 'large quantity' ?
Sadly, in OTHERs chocolates, just 3 pieces caused severe abdominal cramping, and worse... I will skip the bathroom references, here.;
So... do I dare, and HOW MUCH do I dare, IF I dare ?
Why can't people choose to NOT use such artifice ? I don't need to satisfy my Sweet Teeth while also pursuing my love of Chocolate... and there ARE plenty of 'no sugar added' Chocolates 'out there' today !
Oh, well... heck, even munching on some few licorice sticks using that 'sweetener' caused me to have a completely pain-wracked day !
Poor choice in ingredients, with I assume well meant intentions...
