Composition: 73-75% Dark Chocolate. Region of Production: USA. Origin of Cocoa: Ecuador. Price: 100g for about $8. Producer’s Notes: Notes of mint, Indian spices, black tea, and earthy flavors. As with all of Burdick’s bars, this one is a looker. The packaging is clean, simple, and very homey. The bar itself is well-crafted,...

Composition: Milk chocolate, Peanuts, Peanut Butter, and Crisp Rice. Country of Production: USA. Price: $3.80 for 1.9 oz. bar (53 g). The bar doesn’t look like much at the start. It’s simply a large rectangular bar, with no frills whatsoever. It is, however, well-made. As I bit in, I found a thick layer of peanut butter...

Composition: 36% White Chocolate. Region of Production: USA. Price: 100g for about $7. The presentation is incredible in nearly every regard, from the simple clean packaging to the austere, glossy bar. As with all of Burdick’s bars, this one comes in a thick, classy paper container, tied with old-fashioned ribbon. That same...

Location: 484 Broome Street, New York, NY 10013-2253. Country of Production: USA. Price: 9 pieces for $28. New York has always been on the flashy side. With so much money floating around, it’s all about finding what’s bigger, trendier, and more fashionable. I would have never thought, however, to find that New York mentality...

Composition: 100% Dark Chocolate. Region of Production: USA. Origin of Cocoa: Dominican Republic. Price: 35g for $5-$5.50, or 70g for $9-$10. Surprisingly, the bar breaks off into pieces that are completely smooth, even though it doesn’t come with any designs that separate it into convenient squares or rectangles. Instead, the...

Composition: Lemon Zest, Pink Peppercorn, 36% Cocoa Butter. Region of Production: USA. Price: $7.50 from Vosges’ site. This bar is another beauty from Vosges, coming in an off-white and spotted with pink all over. While the chunks of peppercorn are rather large, the bar is almost completely smooth to the touch, except on the...

Location: 584 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10036. Country of Production: France. Price: 16 pieces for about $30. I’ve recently reviewed the chocolates by Jacques Torres, a Frenchman who has, quite surprisingly, become the face of American chocolate (or at least chocolate in NYC). He isn’t the only Frenchman in town, however, as...

Composition: 28-31% Vanilla White Chocolate with Vanilla Seeds. Region of Production: USA. Price: 100g for $7. This bar has a lot to love, but also a lot to hate. First, take the presentation. The packaging is a simple plastic wrapper, showing off the bar’s design. The plastic, though, is nearly vacuum packed and has a gigantic...

Composition: 75% Dark Chocolate. Region of Production: USA. Origin of Cocoa: Grenada. Price: 100g for about $8. Producer’s Notes: “Hints of banana, coffee, and nutmeg—full body, fruity cocoa flavor.” Burdick’s presentation again pleases, even more so than usual. Burdick’s always does a clean job with its bars, but this...

Composition: Milk chocolate, toffee, crispy cookie, crunchy peanuts. Region of Production: USA. Price: $2.79 at CVS. Very nice presentation for a candy bar, with the Wonka knack for flair really showing through. The wrapper comes in an attractive purple and displays the ingredients prominently—a bit more flair than the typical...
