// Humble Bee Candles: Winter Pine

I received this truly lovely candle in 'Winter Pine' this past holiday and checked all the boxes a beautiful candle can deliver the very first evening I lit it — and then some: deep relaxation, restoration, calm, and a gentle-be all over feel. If you have yet to hear about this fairly new-to-the-market company, welcome to the serene world of Humble Bee Candles. Hand poured right here in Toronto, Canada, and hoping to "sprinkle kindness, humbleness, and joy to those who receive the candle..."

// Dark Deviled Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream

Chocolate, upon chocolate, upon chocolate... taking this month's official new flavour: Dark Deviled Chocolate Fudge into the world of our young children. Back in the day, I was always amazed with our boys' never-ending desire to add more and more chocolate syrup to their already very generous scoop(s) of chocolate ice cream, making a dark potion of some sort with the added syrup, and enjoying it to the very last drop, straws optional. And not to mention the not surprizing double-layer chocolate birthday cake request, each and every year to go along with... you guessed it, chocolate ice cream of course. It's in the DNA. :) To kick off a fresh new year of frozen flavours, celebrating our kids and this month's National Bittersweet Chocolate Day (and because Valentines is also right around the corner), I happily dived into this decadent treat with a focus on its traditional beginnings using just bittersweet (dark) chocolate, and lots of it, to create this deeply rich and indulgent dessert... A few behind-the-scenes photos of its early in-the-making days after the jump. Have a luxurious weekend. ~xo
