love in basel


i have fallen in love in basel.  with swiss chocolate.  and one confiserie in particular.


it is called schiesser confiserie & cafe in the marktplatz.


this adorable chocolatier/ cafe/ ice cream shop makes the most delicious dark chocolate truffles in-house, called the 'deluxe truffle'. they are to die for.  i stopped in on my first day here looking for a piece of swiss chocolate.  i told them i preferred dark chocolate, and they steered me to the deluxe. 
i have gone back every day since.


their macaroons are delicious as well.


i have taken to bringing home a new flavor to ww every day.  i could certainly get used to this, even if my waistline would object.
