Coco-luxe New Bars
February 19, 2009 Coco-luxe Confections just launched three new chocolate bars, and I'm happy to say they are yummy! The Roark Bar, their highest cocoa content dark chocolate bar, is an intense, high octane boom with cocoa nibs. Great for the cocoa purist, this one sure packs a punch. This one is inspired by the character Howard Roark from Ayn Rand's The Fountain Head.
I dug the Bessie - it's a rich milk bar with fun piebald patches of white chocolate. The white patches add a subtle vanilla edge to the bar, which I approve. The Spumoni is a tasty white bar with dried cherries, pistachio, and cocoa nibs. Love how the tartness of the cherries contrasted with the white chocolate. Founder Stephanie Marcon created this bar in honor of her Italian American roots.
Do try their other bars. I like the Monkeyin' Around (milk chocolate mixed in with banana chips and cocoa nibs).
Available at gourmet retailers and at the Coco-luxe Boutique (1673 Haight Street, San Francisco) and online at Coco-luxe.com. If you go to the store, don't forget to get their award-winning caramels!
