No more candy corn or popcorn balls – this Halloween I want to enjoy a treat with a little less sugar but still a lot of style, so I found a San Antonio chocolatier who can make just about anything you want out of chocolate.

The Fig Tree is such a romantic restaurant whether you sit on the beautiful tree-shaded River Walk patio or inside the century old, beautifully decorated dining room. But that’s not all inspires passion at the Fig Tree – the creative French cuisine – as the French would say c’est si bon!
Nothing cools you down like an ice cold Mojito – the flavors of fresh lime juice, mint and rum are incredibly refreshing. The key to making the perfect Mojito is to use fresh ingredients and to avoid a couple of very common mistakes-don’t tear the mint leaves for starters!
