There are several things that come to my mind when considering chocolate.
Like my favorite candy bar. Or that delicious delicious chocolate frosting which i licked off a cupcake the other day (it was too dang good!). Also, how sometimes it will save me on a bad day.
For me personally, eating chocolate is like falling in love; it offers me a joy that can’t be explained.
Needless to say since I am borderline enthusiastic about sugary and salty pairings, the ocean Salt Soiree completely blew my mind. I can just explain that consuming it is an experience that you can’t miss out on. I felt like I used to be floating in a few sort of euphoric dream.
We broke the bar into little pieces and ate raspberries in between each bite – was it simple? Yes. Nonetheless it was sugary and tart, after that savory and salty and intense. Mostly it had been just perfection in a bite.
The Intense Dark Toffee Interlude made taking in my coffee taste heavenly and a bit like caramel. The delicious chocolate itself was lovely and crunchy with little bits of almond.
Could you imagine it having a Chai Tea?! Simply too dang great.
Finally we enjoyed the Hazelnut Heaven CHOCOLATES, which I need to say will be fantastic with cheese. Now it may seem that combination is certainly weird, but could you imagine it melted on a crusty piece of breads with roasted strawberries and brie parmesan cheese? Um yes… HAZELNUT HEAVEN is absolutely right!
Ugh. I need to savor chocolates moments more often.
My new preferred is making s’mores with Ghirardelli Intense CHOCOLATES squares. Creamy marshmallow with nice, unique chocolate along with a crunchy graham cracker. I can’t get enough!
How about you? What’s your preferred chocolate pairing?
