Location: Borne Confections, 485 Park Avenue, New York NY 10022 Country of Production: USA Price: Pods are $2.50 each. A Pre-Packed Box of 12 for $31.50. When I was studying abroad in Spain, I had a chance to travel to Barcelona, which soon became my favorite city in the whole country. Beautiful, natural, and a bit wacky, the city...

Region of Production: France. Composition: 33% Milk Chocolate with Caramel. Price: About $6.50 for 75g. This is my first take at the legendary Fauchon’s chocolate, and the brand lives up to its name, with a bar that is just so right in so many way. The Gout n. 3 Lait Caramel bar comes literally shimmering with a near caramel-like...

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: 31% Milk Chocolate with Salted Toffee Bits. Region of Production: Germany (originally Belgium). Price: About $4.20 at CVS. All right, so if you’re a chocolate fiend like myself, I know what your first impression might be—Godiva? Is that even “real” gourmet chocolate? And while Godiva’s Salted Caramel bar will...

Price: About $2. Region of Production: USA. Doves’ Silky Smooth Raspberry & Dark Chocolate definitely impresses with a wacky raspberry swirl design, leaving the smooth bottom looking almost hypnotic. The naturally curvy bar though just seems confused with so many swirling patterns. I do, however, like that that the bar does...

Region of Production: Germany (location of company), USA Price: $2.79 at CVS. This bar has almost no discoloration at all, despite its price. Instead, you get a smooth top surface, crafted into perfect squares bearing the Ritter Sport mark. More negatively, the whole hazelnuts jut out excessively, both from the sides of the...
