The Chocolate Bar

The Chocolate Bar

A simple red box stuffed with tissue paper might not have the artistic flair of Sugar-Coated Radical. But, it allows the chocolates to make the journey home without melting in warm hands.

This box holds a key lime shell, praline ball, robin’s egg […]

Cacao

Since this was a gift, what was my honey’s first question of the staff behind the counter as he hand-picked these chocolates that were being set aside for packaging? “Will these be packaged in a box?” With an affirmative, he went on to pick out 8 truffles and one chocolate […]

Kilwin’s

Toasted Coconut & Cake Batter in a Waffle Cup

We love these flavors in theory. But, in reality they were a bit icy and gritty texture-wise.

Praline in a Waffle Cup

Surprisingly, this ice cream was much creamier and filled with […]

Sugar-Coated Radical

The Box

Could they make each little chocolate box more charming? We don’t think so. Each box comes half-wrapped and decorated with a stitched fabric label… simply charming.

The chocolates at Sugar-Coated Radical are flavored with Grand Marnier, anise, rose, coriander, crystalized jalapenos, […]

Ethel M’s Dark Chocolate & Caramel Milk Chocolate Bars

The Dark Chocolate Bar — Incredibly good!

The bar starts with a nice snap. But, as soon as it hits your tongue it begins to melt. Smooth & creamy with complex flavors in the deep dark bittersweet […]

Skybars, Zotz, and Pop Rocks… oh my

Skybar & Zotz

All I want for Christmas is a stocking full of quirky candies…

I’m not sure when skybars were popular (if ever). But, according to the Necco website, they were introduced in 1938. So, maybe my grandmother would have been a fan. She was born in […]

The “it” Bars

Dark Chocolate with Pretzel Bits & Dark Chocolate with Peppermint Crunch

We really wanted to like these. Peppermint crunch and pretzel bits are interesting additions to any chocolate bar. And, dark chocolate is our favorite. These were sure to be an easy win, […]

Righteously Raw — Acai & Goji

Righteously Raw Superfood Truffles — Acai & Goji

We had high hopes. The ingredients are organic. There’s no refined sugar, no soy, no dairy and they’re gluten free.

We’re sure they’re healthier than a standard chocolate bar due to the berry and fruit […]

Green Tea Caramels & Curried White Chocolate Cashews

Green Tea Caramels, White Chocolate Curry Cashews & Dark Chocolate Pistachios

Green Tea Caramels

LOVED… The flavors of white chocolate and green tea work beautifully together. But, when you add rich caramel to the equation it gets dangerously good. These are addictive.

Curried White Chocolate Cashews

Vosges

Vosges Gianduja Bar

Gianduja (or Gianduia) = Chocolate Hazelnut Praliné

What’s better than chocolate? Chocolate with hazelnuts… in any form. This milk chocolate bar is smooth, creamy and decadently rich. Yet, it’s still all about the hazelnuts. If nutella had a sexier, more elegant sister… it would be […]
