Bi-Rite Creamery Chocolate Bars
November 6, 2008 Charles Chocolates and Bi-Rite Creamery have teamed up for the ultimate Bay Area sugar addiction. Based on the cult ice cream shop's signature flavors, the three new chocolate bars are gonna create a sweet sensation.
Charles Chocolates has done a fine job of interpreting the Bi-Rite appeal. The Rocky Road is made with fluffy housemade marshmallows, and the Peanut Praline will make the ice cream fans go nuts (pun intended). The Coffee Toffee is made with housemade almond toffee and Ethiopian coffee beans from Ritual Coffee Roasters. Very nice and strong java flavor. Can we say yum?
The bars are a blend of milk and dark chocolate - a clever way to maximize the cocoa flavor without making it a 'dark' bar. To follow the current political climate, I say being a centrist is not bad at all. Made exclusively for Bi-Rite, you can only purchase these at the ice cream retail location for now. I can just imagine the local foodies stampeding to the store now.
To celebrate this launch, there will be a free tasting of these great bars, along with an ice cream sampling of matching flavors:

For newbies, definitely buy the Triple (coated) Chocolate Hazelnuts and Almonds (soooo good!), and the Wine Infused Pate de Fruit. The Mocha Java Bar is great for a buzz...it has a freshly-ground coffee bean taste.
