Just try to part with these Easter goodies

We found these bags of chocolates very tempting -- so much so it was hard to think of giving them as Easter gifts. But it’s easy to ship a few to family and friends at Easter. Made of Venezuelan chocolate in the Belgian tradition, each bag is decorated with white bunnies and pink flowers. Choose from a 1/3-pound gift bag with two chocolate bunnies and praline-filled chocolate eggs or a 1/4-pound bag filled with bite-size molded chocolates.

1/3-pound bag, $10; 1/4-pound bag, $6, from Chuao Chocolatier, The Lumberyard, Suite C-109, 937 S. Coast Highway 101, Encinitas; (760) 635-1444 or order on the Internet at www.chuao chocolatier.com.
