Or at least from CostPlus World Market.
I need to write this down before I forget. Last time we stocked up on chocolate bars from there we got:
- Dagoba Xocolatl 74% Chilies and Nibs
- We share this with friends and I didn’t give it proper attention. I remember liking it but not being wowed by it. - Ghirardelli Espresso Escape™ – This was good, but not as good as I expected for some reason. Maybe a tad too bitter with the coffee and dark chocolate.
- Chuao Spicy Maya Bar – First spicy chocolate I’ve been disappointed in. The best I can say is that it was ok. I think I might even like Dove’s plain dark chocolate better. Plus their web site sucks. Frames = not good.
We just picked up three more today, so hopefully I’ll remember to blog them as we try them. We got a lemon dark chocolate, mango & chili dark chocolate, and another spicy dark chocolate.
So far though the Vosges Fire is our favorite of the spicy chocolate bars.
I think we’ve both figured out after the Scharffen Berger factory tour that we like flavored darks the best, though a plain semi-dark is still better than a flavored milk chocolate. The darkest one on the tour was just a bit too dark. But I enjoy milk chocolate when it’s with other flavors I like. I had the Ghirardelli holiday pack, and surprisingly I like the peppermint one the best, the almond second and the eggnog third. I thought it would be the exact opposite order.
