My favorite chocolate bars right now:82% Cacao Extra Dark from Scharffen Berger
Barcelona bar (dark milk chocolate with hickory smoked almonds and sea salt) from Vosges
Chai (milk chocolate with ginger and spices) from Dagoba
Cherry (60% with dried tart cherries) from Green & Black's
Grand Noir 85% from Michel Cluizel
Guanaja (70%) from Valrhona
Sisa's Secret Special Edition Extra Dark Roast (70%) from Kallari
Tranquility (milk chocolate with lavender) from New Tree
And might i just add that we came across a bodega with loose candies just like when we were kids! L and i got mini Reese's peanut butter cups for 10 cents each, while be picked up a mini Peppermint Pattie for 15 cents. They were the best tasting candies in a long time!

adam and i are in love with the barcelona bar. we have to pace our selves on that stuff. we always take it as a snack on long airplane rides. mmm... time to restock. i want to hear your reviews of the new bars you bought. i've been meaning to try a few.

well D, since you and adam were the ones who introduced us to the Barcelona Bar (and O the bacon one), i must profusely thank you for that tip!
HEY how about saturday we taste test the new bars? yay!
Have to agree with your choices of Dagoba and Scharffen Berger -which I'm glad to see hasn't changed much after being bought by Hershey's. The others I have to try ;-)
Also on my list Amedei, which has secured the best cocoa, right from under Valrhona, according to Food and Wine Mag..

Thanks Andre! I'll definitely have to check out Amedei. We've been trying a lot of "unusual" chocolate bars recently but it's good to get back to basics and just have some high quality, plain chocolate.
