Welcome to Day #12 of Chocolate and Warm Spices, and Day #3 of Bees and Trees Theme Week--including several chocolates flavored or sweetened with honey, maple and/or dates.
Today's Winter Maple with Spiced Brown Butter (bar) was from Goodnow Farms Chocolate (Sudbury, MA).
Aroma and tasting notes included: warming spices (ginger, cardamom); dark milk chocolate; and maple sugar and butter caramel. (Note: there was no ginger in this chocolate; but there was cardamom.)
Texture: very smooth, buttery texture and melt. The maple sugar and spices were fully incorporated into the bar (no spice grit, thank you!)
I enjoyed the sweet flavors (spices, butter caramel, maple) and texture. It was rich enough to be satisfying after a few bites. I could also see a chef choosing this chocolate to make a very rich, sophisticated chocolate dessert (mousse, tart, truffle).
Ingredients: Single Origin Cacao Beans, Maple Sugar, Single Origin Cocoa Butter, Butter, Cardamom
