Today's Mozart - Piano Bar from Paul Reber (Germany) had a promising blend of chocolate, hazelnuts, rice crisps, and what tasted like a bit of almond flavoring. Unfortunately the first thing I tasted was a faint gasoline or solvent-type taste; maybe this was just a bad batch.

Comment: While Asher's Chocolates is based in Pennsylvania I believe, all of the Asher's Chocolates I've tasted have been sold via small shops in the U.S. So, I've had to ask to find out who made them in many instances.
