Le Rouge Handmade Chocolates offered another sweet fix.  Stylistically, they mirror the French.  When the woman handed me a small chocolate disc with fig and pistachio on top, she told me that a bite like this would be found in “every shop in Paris.”  I noticed a touch of Middle Eastern influence as well.  A version of the English toffee was infused with Indian Tea and one of the truffle flavors was lentil and saffron.  Le Rouge specializes in truffles, but they have a number of other offerings.  To learn more, visit:http://www.lerougebyaarti.com/ .
