It’s Holly

words cannot describe how much i love this candy bar, but alas, i will try.

it’s the barcelona bar by vosges. i usually pick one up every time i go to extraordinary desserts. it’s the best thing ever. really. i know i say that a lot, but ask anyone i’ve made try it. they’ll agree whole heartedly.

first of all, after years and years of eating great food, i’ve officially become a foodie, a “food snob”, if you will. a lot of people get the wrong impression of a foodie, thinking they’ll only dine at expensive restaurants or eat exotic food. that’s hardly the case. the fact of the matter is, i only enjoy good, quality food. plain and simple. a good example is chocolate. i absolutely hate hershey chocolate. to me, it taste like a big waxy gob of shit. and it kills me to no end when it’s the only chocolate we have in the office, and i have a craving that just won’t quit. which is why i always keep a barcelona bar in my desk drawer.

i don’t even know how to describe it. it’s not quite dark chocolate, but not as light as milk chocolate. they describe it as “deep milk chocolate”, which is exactly what it is. also included are hickory smoked almonds, as well as grey sea salt. sea salt?! wtf, you ask? it’s not like eating salty chocolate. think of a flavor similar to eating a chocolate covered pretzel, when you get that little crunch of salt every few bites. that’s exactly what it is… little nibblets of salty deliciousness, every few bites. it brings out the flavor in the chocolate to the nth degree. it’s fantastical.

it’s my favorite candy bar.
