Vosges Exotic Chocolate Bars
Vosges Chocolate is possibly my favorite makers of exotic chocolate bars. For plain bars I prefer Scharffenberger or Green & Black's, but no one does funky combinations like Vosges does.
I bought my first Barcelona bar yesterday. Tasty. Lots of crispy grains of salt in the chocolate. I know it sounds borderline insane to talk about salt having the right texture to be paired with chocolate, but they used flakey salt that managed to keep its crispiness instead of being melted into the chocolate. It's a small detail, but probably hard to get just right. I also liked the use of crispier marcona almonds instead of regular almonds. I do wish they would use a darker chocolate than 41%.
Next: must locate a bacon bar. I haven't seen one anywhere yet. It's just crazy enough for me to be intensely curious.

Sadly I think Mo's is a Boutique and Catalogue Thing only as it has a relatively short shelf life. And of course it WOULD come out two weeks after I visited and dropped $$$$ at the Vegas Boutique! :P
Anyway, my favorite of the Bars if the Woolloomooloo bar... the hemp seeds really add great texture! :D

I hear the bacon bar is to die for [take that any way you like]. :)
