Boule, that chic modern French patisserie in Beverly Hills, will be giving away free gourmet chocolates this evening from 6pm to 8pm to promote its holiday flavors: gingerbread, citrus rosemary and pecan pie. The patisserie also has a location on La Cienega but the freebies are only going down at the BH store. Boule, 413 N Bedford Dr., Beverly Hills (map), (310) 273-4488.

Our first introduction to the Frango came in Vancouver via Seattle, almost three decades ago. The bite-sized, mint-flavored chocolate was a holiday-time treat, brought up and over the border after its purchase at Frederick and Nelson. But like many childhood tidbits, and like many things that disappear over time, the Frango faded from our grasp in the early 80s. While that constitutes our personal history with the department store confection, the candy's own history reaches back much farther.
