Chocolates I Have Known: Mast Brothers: Black Truffle
http://chocsihaveknown.blogspot.com/2012/10/mast-brothers-black-truffle.html
Chocolates I Have Known. Monday, October 29, 2012. Mast Brothers: Black Truffle. This was probably the most expensive chocolate bar I've ever enjoyed, at $14. Its provenance warrants the price tag: this is a candy bar born of a marriage between three heretofore non-consensual parties, hailing all from different continents. They are:. 2) A subterranean mushroom, sprouted from a spore transported by a fungivorous ground animal and harvested from the forests of Italy. 3) Sea salt from coastal Maine.

Chocolates I Have Known: Vosges: Gingerbread Toffee Bar
http://chocsihaveknown.blogspot.com/2012/01/vosges-gingerbread-toffee-bar.html
Chocolates I Have Known. Sunday, January 1, 2012. Vosges: Gingerbread Toffee Bar. Please excuse this long sabbatical - I've been wrapped up in other things, but I wanted to stop in to tell you about a bar I've recently Known. This particular one was a Hanukkah present. It comes from Vosges, the excellent chocolate store with locations in Soho and the Upper East Side. Oddly, most high end chocolate stores seem to be concentrated in and around these two neighborhoods. Vosges: Gingerbread Toffee Bar.

Chocolates I Have Known. Saturday, July 23, 2011. Alter Eco: Dark Quinoa. I had big plans for this blog post - had those plans not been derailed by graduation, employment, and an obscene heat that is entirely inhospitable to chocolate eating, this post would have arrived sometime in April - it would have documented a curious intersection of contemporary food trends and the Exodus of the ancient Israelites - yes, that. Exodus, which Passover commemorates. Alter Eco: Dark Quinoa. Three months later, this b...

Chocolates I Have Known. Saturday, April 28, 2012. Imagine my surprise upon finding this chocolate bar at the checkout counter of Taste of World Bean.

Chocolates I Have Known. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Notable ingredients: peanut praline; raspberry jelly; toasted rice. This bar's artful composition is no accident: all of the Fresh Direct bars are actually developed by the company's executive pastry chef, Jean-Francois Bonnet, who came from the NYC restaurant Daniel. The bars are tiny enough that you could eat it in one go, and they're not weighed down with too much added sugar or artificial flavors. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://chocsihaveknown.blogspot.com/2011/08/bosco-milk-chocolate.html
Chocolates I Have Known. Sunday, August 14, 2011. Three months ago, I was eating lunch at a restaurant around the corner from my apartment when a man in a pickle delivery truck pulled up alongside the curb and signaled to my gentleman companion, who then got up from our table and went to retrieve from this pickle deliveryman a bucket of retro chocolate for my enjoyment and potential review. This much I know. Until then. B. August 14, 2011 at 1:43 PM. August 14, 2011 at 5:11 PM. View my complete profile.

Chocolates I Have Known. Sunday, March 4, 2012. Surely I've made my beliefs known on the topic of things manifested as other things.
