Cost: $
Purchased from: Mignon Chocolate, Pasadena, CA
The limoncello flavored chocolate was good, although it didn't really taste exactly like the lemon-flavored alcoholic drink. Something did not translate exactly right. This may may need an extra dose of lemon flavoring to counteract something else that's going on here when the liqueur is blended with the chocolate; I'm not sure. The lavender flavored dark chocolate was excellent.
The family that started Mignon have an interesting story. The company has roots in the Ukraine and Iran. Mignon Chocolate operates in Southern California, with two locations - one in Glendale and one in Pasadena. (Their factory is in Van Nuys, CA.)
