When I saw the Chocolate Wassants from My Little Space blog, I bookmarked it and told myself I really have to try it. That was before I went for my Beijing holiday. When I came back, she posted the recipe for chocolate paste for the Chocolate Wassants. That was even more ideal!
I got down to making it. Even though my chocolate wassants were not so neat and pretty, it tasted really good. Thanks to her wonderful recipe. This is a sure keeper
