Elegant morsels for chocolate lovers

Show Mom she's really special this Sunday with a box of French chocolates from Sutton Place Gourmet. The elegant morsels are filled with enchanting fillings like almond and pistachio cream, almond and hazelnut praline, and coffee truffle cream. Sutton Place recently introduced the handcrafted candy by French chocolatier Michel Cluizel at its stores, including the one at Festival at Woodholme shopping center in Pikesville. This decadence comes with a price tag. A four-piece sampler costs $4.99; a 1.1-pound box goes for $34.99.

Doughnuts attract circle of fans

After you've sampled Krispy Kreme doughnuts, you understand why there's a dedicated fan club. Since the glazed treats became available in Baltimore in November, more than 2,000 aficionados have become Krispy Kreme ambassadors. Now, with the opening last week of a second store at 2129 York Road in Timonium, even more people are signing up. As official members, ambassadors receive a T-shirt, mailings, discount coupons and more.
