WEEKLY CANDY: Chocolove's Almond and Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Bar

Photos | Drew Lazor Once a week, Team Meal Ticket shares its latest sugar-laden fixations. Do not tell 0ur dentist. IN QUESTION: We've already fussed over the Chocolove brand's chili/cherry bar, but this one has got to be their absolute best. It's nothing crazy, either: The awesome off-sweet dark chocolate (55 percent cocoa). The crunchy almond shards. The screw-my-blood-pressure amount of drool-inducing sea salt worked into every bite. This candy bar is amazing! AVAILABLE AT: We cop these things regularly at Food & Friends Neighborhood Market on the corner of 20th and Spruce. Nice selection there. HOW MANY DO WE TYPICALLY EAT IN ONE SITTING?: One tops, usually a half. Quit calling us fat! YOU are fat. FINER POINTS: There are quite a few salty or otherwise bacon-imbued chocolate bars out there on the candy market, but Chocolove just straight nails it. Like all good chocolate products, it's at its best straight out of the freezer, a storage strategy that also prevents you from eating it too fast (throw it in there real deep behind a bunch of frozen peas and pot pies and Fla-vor-Ices and make it really hard to reach - DIET TACTIC!). It's also awesome if you smash it up into tiny pieces to top ice cream or sorbet. poncho Posted 2010-10-07 12:44:11

This chocolate bar is heaven on earth. There is a bookstore that is slow stocking it and i have warned them that i will be purchasing it by the box so they might think about ordering 2 boxes--one for me, the other for the rest of their customers. Oh yes, i love this stuff!

@Adam -- that's Drew's kitchen table, not a paper towel. It is so funky.

@Drew -- bunnies in paper cups.

No, you're fat. I mean, you're a towel! Much worse.

If God had meant us to be thin... He would NOT have created chocolate. Thanks for the great post!
