I chose this month's dessert mostly on looks. I was walking by the charming chocolate shop Chapon on rue du Bac a few weeks back and saw this chocolate wristwatch in the window. I was intrigued and went inside to look more closely. Upon close inspection, it was adorable and had an image of Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's stamped on it, which none of my designer watches could boast.
What time is set on the watch? Time to eat it of course!, so about 12 seconds after I photographed it the dark but not bitter chocolate watch was ticking away in my belly.
