Recchiuti Confections recently sent over some samples of its holiday chocolate lineup to the CHOW office, and though the truffles were good, printing some Christmas-related crap on top of the same old dark-chocolate ganache doesn’t really seem all that new or exciting. What was new, however, was the appearance of peppermint thins. They’re bite-sized, extremely minty, and coated with dark, intense chocolate. Now Recchiuti just needs to start making them the same size as those big York Peppermint Patties.
Recchiuti Peppermint Thins, $18 for a box of 24
Chow.com writers simply don't aspire towards some journalistic standard.
They "make" blurbs.
you know, since this article is about appetizingly delicious candies, you think the writer could (and would) actually think for a moment to find a better word to use in the story than "crap". it just kills the message.
