My Chocolate Journal - Blog

My first taste of the chili and chocolate combo came several years ago when Vosges Chocolatier released their first set of uniquely (at that time) flavored chocolate bars & truffles. The first taste, hmm, not stealer.

A couple months ago, I had another chance to embrace the combo. My friend Chris, returning from a trip to Oregon, shared a bit of Dagoba's chili bar. Again, not my favorite. Part of it is the texture of the smooth chocolate with the gritty chili powder added in. I am not sure if it is possible, but could they not conch the chili power in with the chocolate for a smother mouth feel?

Now, there is another new chili bar. I was flipping through the August 2008 Candy Industry and found a the new Lindt & Sprungli Chili bar made with red chili pepper.

Third times a charm? I will let you know next time I venture by a Lindt shop.
