Hi guys! I saw this today and thought of you! (are the rest of you as flummoxed as I am??) As well as looking completely delicious, these are just SO pretty!
I'm just a reader here, but I found this definition:
MENDIANTS Mendiants are disks of chocolate studded with nuts and dried fruits. Unlike chocolate bars that enrobe the nuts and fruits, mendiants are generally made so that the beauty of the different nuts and fruits are studded in the top to offer visual appeal as well as flavor. Mendiants are often made in large slabs and then broken into smaller pieces, like bark. The word mendiant means ”beggar” in French: One would gladly beg for a piece.
Our new self-published book is now available on Amazon
About Twelve by Twelve
We are twelve quilt artists who embarked on an art challenge together. We're from different places throughout the world and our artistic styles vary, but we share a love of art quilting and a desire to play, experiment, learn, and grow.
For four years (2007-2011), we each made a 12x12 inch quilted art piece on a designated theme or palette. See our Theme Series and our Colorplay series.
For the 2012 Series, we changed things a bit and made rectangular pieces, 20x12 inches with roughly 10 weeks between each challenge. As before, we had a designated theme for each challenge.
We shared our process, progress, and results on this blog. It remains a key record of our rich collaboration.

Oh, wow and yum. Really good chocolate - a fetish of mine.
