One great discovery from the latest Luxury Chocolate Salon in San Francisco (yesterday) was Chocolate Momotombo from Nicaragua. Today's chocolate: the company's cacao nibs "covered in fine chocolate" contained a variety of pleasing roasted flavor notes: from corn nuts to toasted almonds.
In 2006, my daughter bet I couldn't eat a different chocolate each day for a year. I enjoyed that year so much that, after 17+ years, I'm still eating a different chocolate every day. Happily, even after 6,200+ chocolates, there are still many more to try. Thank you to all who continue to be part of this global adventure.

What's in a Vice Chocolates "Slayer" truffle? Think vampires, and you might come up with the answer: garlic, and balsamic vinegar. Just the right amount of each made for an interesting truffle. I look forward to trying more creative flavors from Vice.
