Pastry of the Week: Merveilleux

Another Friday has come and gone, and as usual, I made a side trip to the bakery downstairs to get a baguette and a Friday treat. The merveilleux caught my eye last week, and I've been looking forward to it for days. I mean, look at this thing: it's round, it's covered in chocolate sprinkles and for crying out loud, it's called a marvelous; how could I go wrong?


Only it turns out I jumped the gun and what I assumed was a mound of chocolatey goodness was actually a dry, hollow cookie-type substance.

Not only that, but it was ridiculously sweet, so much so that I threw it out without finishing it. Those of you familiar with my sweet tooth will be suitably shocked; yes, I'll say it again: it was too sweet. And I eat Fun Dip, people. Sigh. What a waste.
