Joseph Smith Confections - Belgian Dark Chocolate
Friday, May 11, 2007 at 03:55PM
This one is for those who like their chocolate chunky. It has a healthy snap and you get a real nice dose of the chocolate on the first bite. It's very clean and solid. I liken it to the workmen's chocolate bar. It's definitely earthy and dense, and for whatever reason the sugar really overpowers.
Joseph Smith Confections is based in San Francisco and has grown since the early 1980's to have a highly reputable reputation, especially with chocolate novices like me.
This chocolate bar is like Drew Barrymore. Solid, grows on you, cute, very likable, but not quite an Oscar winner. Is that how you would describe Drew?
I wouldn't rush out to buy it, but I wouldn't turn it down.
Purchased at Piedmont Grocery
Price: $1.99 (good deal!)
3 cacao beans out of 5

Still think it's nothing compared to the real thing we have over here in Belgium :) For the real taste of Belgian Chocolate ... look out for Cote D'Or, the packaging has an elephant on it. Will be pretty hard to come by in the states though.

Thanks for the tip! Hopefully I'll get out to Belgium and try the chocolates.
