I love chocolate, well, actually anything sweet and have been know to eat an entire cheesecake by myself (not in one sitting). But I definitely have a sweet spot for chocolate. It can be in any form, brownies, candy, cakes, etc. There is something comforting about chocolate. With the seductive wonderful feel it has as you bite into a piece of chocolate it can take all the cares in the world away.
As far back as I can remember, my favorite chocolate has been Melt Aways by Fannie May. A box of those would light up my face. Something so wonderful about the combination of chocolate and mint. It was the inspiration behind my Chocolate Mint collection and as I tell customers at the shows "anything I can associate with food I will! The inspiration behind the collection was those sweet memories of Melt Aways. The combination of creamy mint glass with touches of smokey quartz is one of my and customer favorites.It was one of my first palettes and I think it will always be in the line!

Once again mint is appearing in fashion and accessories this year and Pantone chose a minty version called Hemlock as one of their key colors for Spring. Mint has a delicate and romantic feel to it and I'm not surprised that it is appearing in many wedding palettes. Paired with pale pink is such a beautiful combination and with touches of a smoky brown or gold it adds just the right contrast. One of the boards I love to follow is from the Perfect Palette. A wonderful collection of wedding inspiration. If you or someone you know is getting married it is a great blog to follow also.
For designs available in Chocolate Mint visit my Etsy Store. It also will make the perfect gift for the chocolate lover in your life and a sweet Valentine's Day gift! You may also want to follow Donna Sauers Designs on Pinterest and my mint board where I have been having fun pinning all things in this creamy wonderful color!
