Jin Dandy

Jin Patisserie Hits the Web

You’ve never understood the whole “Life is like a box of chocolates” thing. After all, you may not know exactly what you’re gonna get with a Whitman’s Sampler, but chances are it involves nuts or caramel.

Maybe, for you, life is more like a box of Jin Patisserie chocolates.

The beloved sweet shop in Venice, California, has just made its treats available online, where you’ll find morsels in unusual and spectacular flavors.
Earl Grey Feuilletine? You never would have guessed. Lemon Grass? Who knew? Red Caramel Clove? Couldn’t see that one coming.

There are four choices, ranging from a five-piece selection in an austere wood box to a 20-piece combo in a stunning silk one. Go for the biggie and you’ll get exotic flavors such as Sea Salt Caramel, Mango Basil, Black Roasted Sesame, and Lychee.

Having a tough time imagining what these’ll be like?

Good. That’s what chocolates — and life — should be all about.
