Composition: Gingerbread Spiced Toffee, 65% Dark Chocolate. Region of Production: USA. Price: $7.50 from Vosges’s site. Aesthetically, this bar generally impresses. As with all of Vosges’s bars, it is completely smooth, seamlessly integrating the ingredient. There are some signs of chocolate bloom (discoloration) across the...

Composition: Hibiscus Flowers, Blood Orange Caramel, Campari, 70% Dark Chocolate Region of Production: USA. Price: $7.50 from Vosges’ site. This bar looks very clean, with its sleek, intense black color. As always, the packaging too impresses, though this one even more so than usual with its wild display of blood oranges. My bar...

Composition: Praline, Pecans, Cherries, and Dark Chocolate. Region of Production: USA. Price: $3.80 for 1.9 oz. bar (53 g). Presentation-wise, this bar keeps it simple and clean.

Composition: 40-42% Milk Chocolate, Hazelnuts. Region of Production: USA. Price: 100g for about $7. The presentation here is exactly what I’d expect from LA Burdick: clean, professional, and homey, all in one. As I’ve noted before, Burdick does “old-fashioned” better than just about anyone else. The packaging is a very...

Composition: 54% Chocolate, Gianduja Filling. Region of Production: USA. Price: $3.50 for 85g. I’m normally a fan of Lake Champlain’s presentation, which tends to be a step up for most candy bars. Here, though, the bar just seemed wrong from the start. The underside was blotted all over with discolored clusters, and the top had...

Composition: Sicilian Almond Marzipan, Amaretto, 62% Dark Chocolate. Region of Production: USA. Price: $7.50 from Vosges’ site. This bar looks like a mess. During the shipping process, it broke into two pieces. With most of Vosges’s bars, that’s not quite so problematic. This one, though, is filled with sticky marzipan that...

Composition: 73-75% Dark Chocolate. Region of Production: USA. Origin of Cocoa: Venezuela. Price: 100g for about $8. Producer’s Notes: “Subtle nutty flavor with a fine cocoa acidity.” Again, I give credit to Burdick’s presentation. The bar comes in beautiful thick paper packaging, tied with old-fashioned string. The bar...

Composition: 34% Milk Chocolate, Caramel Filling. Region of Production: USA. Price: $3.80 for 3.25 oz. (92g). Presentation is something Lake Champlain does pretty well for a cheaper producer. Again, the colorful paper packaging, while a bit cheap, gives the chocolate a homey feel. And I really enjoy the make of the bar. In this...
