| Quix Chocolate offers a variety of truffles and treats, including chocolate teacups |
We love tea served in teacups and we love to pair tea with chocolate, so when our teacup is chocolate - well, to borrow from the song "The Candy Man" - talk about your childhood wishes, you can even it the dishes! And, that's exactly the treat we received for Mother's Day from my children via Quix Chocolate.

Quix Chocolate, is located in Ferndale, but its roots are in Belgium. The original chocolate business started in Lanklaar, Belgium in 1949 in the home of Marcel Jeandarme and Mariette Quix. They produced their own chocolate from scratch with imported cocoa beans. The company expanded to several cities in Belgium until the 1980's, when it ceased operations waiting for an heir to take the reigns.

| Inside the store, it's bright and cheery |
It may have taken awhile and some miles, but Quix has resumed its quality, small-batch, from-scratch Belgian chocolates in southeast Michigan. And, for those of us within driving distance, it's a well-rewarded trip to its bright and charming store.

| Pairing chocolate with tea, the only thing better. . . chocolate teacups! |
My daughter and son-in-law are fortunate to live a bike ride away from Quix and we've joined them on a few occasions to shop and sample.
For Mother's Day, when they came through the door holding the distinctive orange bag, I knew I was in for a treat. But, chocolate teacups - incredible!
Thinking in the future what charming - and tasty - additions these edible teacups would make for a whimsical afternoon tea tablescape. Stay tuned. . .

| Chipping away at my teacups, talk about your childhood wishes when you can eat the dishes. |
In the meantime, I've been "chipping" away at my chocolate cups and the truffles inside. It's true, everything Quix makes is "satisfying and delicious" and I'm certainly enjoying my tea lady/tea girl wishes eating these chocolate dishes.
