The best thing I ate today - 12/3

The best thing I ate today was a chocolate peppermint tart at the Lobby in the Peninsula hotel, over afternoon tea at a belated birthday celebration for my dear friend Elina.  It was a perfect ladies afternoon chock-full of girlfriend time, catching up, bottomless tea and lots of edible delights.  The chocolate peppermint tart took on the form of a chocolate cookie crust, filled with a fudgey, minty chocolate ganache, and topped with an adorable dollhouse-sized candy cane.  A sweet treat for sweet friends.
