Chuao Chocolatier in Encinitas whips up a tasty little morsel called 'Firecracker'. The not-so-secret ingredient is Pop Rocks. 'Mmm. Crunchy. A little spicy. Hey! Why is my mouth tingling? What's that crackling noise?'

Dining Out With The Picky Twins

After a series of ho-hum dining experience throughout San Diego, B stumbled upon the Cardiff Seaside Market in Cardiff-by-the-Sea/Encinitas just off the beach. A great little supermarket, with an amazing selection of desserts in the deli -- see the Chocolate Paradise and Chocolate Fusion pictured above. Yow. Good eatin'. Better desserts than anywhere back home. For those of you scoring at home, the Fusion has nine layers of choco-goodness, and in the dessert book would be coded C7+c2[x399].
