Topperfino

Topperfino was a difficult gift to classify, but it is so decadent and makes all who use it smile, that it had to go under the food porn heading. Topperfino is a set of beautifully decorated chocolate disc that is placed on top of a cup of latte or cappuccino (works best with foamy drinks, but it worked with regular coffee too). It slowly melts into your drink creating a truly indulgent experience. It comes in four flavors: Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut, Vanilla and Caramel. Topperfino can be found and ordered here.

Author’s note:  These were such a hit that the guests who tried them with me ordered more for themselves, even before they finished their first taste of a Topperfino.
