National Chocolate Day Treats

National Chocolate Day graces our calendars today and its just in time for a little teaser before Halloween.

Of course, a food-rich city such as Austin is packed with lots of delicious chocolatey delights from the unusual like the chocolate ice cream sandwich with mint, milk jam and pecan from Barley Swine, to the decadent, such as chocolate crème brûlée at Péché, to the classic, like Eastside Café’s chocolate silk pie just to name a few.
