Yesterday I also got a chance to stop into Vosges gourmet chocolate shop, down near Michigan Avenue. I bought 4 exotic chocolate bars as a surprise for my date last night, but the date didn't happen so instead Sean took a study break to come over and eat the chocolates with me. Here's what I bought:
Gianduja: Almonds, Hazelnuts, Deep Milk Chocolate
Mo's Bacon Bar: Applewood smoked bacon, Alder smoked salt, deep milk chocolate
Red Fire: Mexican Ancho and chipotle chili peppers, Ceylon cinnamon, and dark chocolate
Woolloomooloo: Roasted and salted Macademia nuts, Indonesian coconut, hemp seed and deep milk chocolate
Sean and I both thought the Mo's Bacon Chocolate bar was the best; a perfect combination of salty and sweet. I was surprised that I also liked the Red Fire bar. It had some heat to it but it was more a warm cinnamon than a spicy pepper. The chocolate on that bar wasn't too bitter either. Yum! Flights of chocolate (and red wine) are fun! Thanks Sean!
