Crunchie

Have you ever had a Crunchie bar?

It would be an insult to call the flavor a bit like a “Whopper”. It’s kinda sorta close… just imagine the Crunchie so much better in every way. You know what happens when you bite into a Whopper? […]

Vosges — Blood Orange Caramel Bar

Vosges Blood Orange Caramel Bar

There are simply no words to express the absolute perfection of this bar. The chocolate is deep, dark, rich and complex. While the right bite of bitter citrus from blood orange and Campari tempers the sweetness of syrupy smooth caramel, it’s easily the […]

Toscano & Sons

Crema di Marroni, Chocolate Fig Jam, & Roasted Fava Beans

Roasted fava beans, you could say they’re a slightly nuttier, tastier big brother to the soy nut. These were roasted nicely and seasoned appropriately with salt. We’d definitely buy them again.

The fate of these two […]

Chocolate Corn Nuts

These large kernels of corn are fried, dipped in chocolate and dusted with cocoa. You might see these same kernels of deep-fried corn dusted with salt or chili powder at your local convenience store under the name […]

Gianduia

Fresh Market’s Gianduia Bar ($3.49)

It shouldn’t be a surprise when an $8 chocolate bar is outstanding. On rare occasions, those $8 bars are surprisingly bad. But, that’s another story. On the other hand, it’s always extremely shocking to us when we find a 3.5 ounce bar for […]

Schakolad — Dark Chocolate Sesame Brittle

Dark Chocolate Sesame Brittle

The combination of dark chocolate, rich caramel and roasty, toasty sesame seeds might just turn […]

Roasted macadamia nuts with salt, Indonesian coconut, hemp seeds and deep milk chocolate…

When you bite into this rich & creamy milk chocolate bar, you might be biting into an exotic chocolate truffle. The flavor of roasted macadamia nuts, hemp seeds and […]

Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Edamame

Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Edamame

When it comes to things you can dip in dark chocolate, edamame ranks as one of the least guilt-inducing. These are nicely roasted soybeans with a light dusting of salt before their dip in dark chocolate. These are very tasty morsels that pack […]

Theo Cherry Almond (Organic Fair Trade 70% cacao)
