"It's not easy to represent theological ideas by using the taste buds," acknowledges Poyet, a master chocolatier from Maison Poyet in Vevey, ... "But the key thing for Calvin is the glory of God, his excellence, his perfection. So we chose a chocolate that we chocolatiers find exceptional, rare and flawless."
I must admit that my usual reaction to a mention of Calvin is not to think of chocolate, but I really do want to try these. Actually, what I really want is a box of theological pralines, where you can chose your own theologian or hero(ine) of the faith... that has potential to be one of the most awesome things ever.
A Luther praline would have to involve a dark ganache with red wine flavouring it, I think.
Or one could have a library of chocolates inspired by favourite books. How would you represent yours?

I would like to do Dante in layers, too. Something dark and a bit smoky - possibly chilli - on the outside; then something minty for Purgatory, and honey on the inside; except in practice that would probably be exceedingly nasty all at once!
