New chestnut choux at Chantilly

I just stopped in today to get some things, and it turns out that they are just introducing a new chestnut choux today! I couldn't leave without getting a couple for dessert tonight. They're a bit more than the other choux (3.95 rather than 2.95), but I'll bet they're pretty good. I also got a couple of my old favorites there, the black sesame choux.

      You know the answer to that! Ever had anything at Chantilly Patisserie that wasn't perfection?

        Okay, you're right, but was it just a 10.0, or 10.1 or...

          Lol! It was indeed perfect. There were chunks of chestnuts in the lovely creamy filling. Well, words aren't adequate. ;) The filling was a bit different from the standard plain choux filling they have...I'd say it seemed a bit more custardy, which I liked. We enjoyed the chestnut choux so much that we bought another choux the next day when we picked up our cake order, knowing full well we were already going to be enjoying two Chantilly cakes that evening with our guests....!
