Chocolate Pairings

At Southern Breeze, our eyes light up when goodies are around because we can count our calories elsewhere when sippin’ on our zero calorie sweet tea! With all the chocolates from Valentine’s Day, we can’t help but to dream of yummy chocolate pairings. Everyone knows that chocolate taste best with strawberries (chocolate covered strawberries? YES!). But there are so many other foods chocolate can be best paired with! Below are some of our most favorite pairing suggestions.

White Chocolate: 

Pairing white chocolate with foods can be a tad tricky because of its delicate flavor. The rich notes of white chocolate can really bring out the flavors of the foods below. Sweet Tip! White chocolate pairs well with tangy fruits and almost acts like classic whipped cream!

Ahhh Milk Chocolate, it's like a scoop of heaven ain’t it? Milk chocolate is smooth, creamy and complements pound cake unbelievably very well. It’s also a match made in heaven with fruits y’all.
