>> commune chocolates

Has anyone started their holiday shopping yet? Because this is on my list, big time. The newly released Commune chocolates combine two L.A. powerhouses: Valerie Confections, who's cakes and sweets will live in your dreams after one bite (just ask The Foodinista who said "I do not exaggerate when I say it is now my favorite cake on offer in the entire city of Los Angeles.") and the design geniuses behind The Ace and The Standard Hotel, Commune Design. The result is a limited edition box of dark chocolates (49 pieces, $49). The design replicates classic Byzantine tiles and the chocolate replicates, nay, is what I want for my last meal. No joke.
