CHOCOLATE-TIPPED CIGARETTES

I don’t smoke, but I do inhale the occasional tuile cigarette with my coffee. It is buttery like a shortbread, snaps like a fortune cookie, and has the sophisticated richness you expect from a French dessert. A hint of orange brightens the sweetness and plays well against the smoldering chocolate tip. Tuile cigarettes don’t come with a warning label, but if they did, it might read: “Caution! May cause squeals of joy and increase risk of delight.”
