If you're into good food, you'll find lots to choose from at foodzie.com.  High-end, adult candy bars from BonBonBar are one example. Thank you to Nina for continuing to generate interesting flavored bars. The Bourbon Candy Bar was very rich, and had just the right blend of chocolate, caramel, (George T. Stagg) bourbon, and just a hint of salt and pepper. The box (pictured above) held three individually-wrapped bars. The picture of the candy bar is from the Foodzie website (www.foodzie.com or http://bonbonbar.foodzie.com/bourbon-candy-bars.html). Thank you to Nanette and Judy for assistance in taste testing these.

Jokerz. Good name for a band, or a candy bar. This vegan, dairy-free bar contained a mix of caramel, peanuts, and nougat, and was coated with a "rice-milk chocolatey coating." I liked it. On the wrapper there were four icons (representing the four suits in a deck of cards): heart, club, diamond, and spade. It so happens that the heart symbol is appropriate for Valentines Day, and more heart-related chocolates are in the plan in the few days between now and then.
