This little half ounce Vosges Habana bar was an A Southern Season find. These tiny bar formats are a nice size for a candy blogger on a budget – I get enough to get a taste, and while $3.25 is a lot for such a little bar, it’s still cheaper than their full-sized versions. The…

Vosges Smoke and Stout Caramel Bar
I’m slowly tasting my way through Vosges’s many different bars – slowly because they run about $10 for each 3 oz bar. The Smoke & Stout Caramel Bar was comprised of “Rogue Ale’s chocolate stout beer, alderwood smoked salt, burnt sugar caramel” and 70% dark chocolate. Like all of Vosges’s full-sized bars (at least the…
Vosges Black Salt Caramel Bar
I picked up this Vosges Black Salt Caramel Bar at Cost Plus World Market, one of my favorite new candy sources. It contained “black Hawaiian sea salt, burnt sugar caramel”, and a 70% dark chocolate. Like their Blood Orange Caramel Bar, the caramel here was oozy and runny. It definitely made the bar messier, but…
Vosges Blood Orange Caramel Bar
You can always count on Vosges to come up with something unique and intriguing. This Blood Orange Caramel Bar boasts hibiscus flowers, blood orange caramel, Campari, and dark chocolate (70% cacao). This bar was comprised of a thin, chocolate shell filled with a liquid, limpidly oozing caramel. All of the flavorings resided in the caramel…
Vosges Bapchi’s Caramel Toffee Bar
I bought this Vosges Bapchi’s Caramel Toffee Bar along with the Organic Enchanted Mushroom that I reviewed on Monday. It’s made of 45% deep milk chocolate, sweet butter toffee, walnuts, and pecans. The first, immediately noticeable thing about this bar was the toffee. Holy cow was it delicious! The toffee cleaved cleanly with a great,…
Vosges Organic Enchanted Mushroom
It’s not every day that you run into chocolate with mushrooms, so I just had to pick up this?Vosges Organic Enchanted Mushroom.?Even if it did cost a bit more than regular Vosges bars (already expensive) because of its organic-ness. This bar was comprised of Reishi mushrooms, walnuts, and 66% dark chocolate. Its texture?was lightly gritty,…
Vosges Gingerbread Toffee
I have a soft spot for Vosges Chocolates and have reviewed them often in the past. They’re usually beyond my regular budget, but this Gingerbread Toffee bar was on sale after the holidays. Vosges at half off? I couldn’t resist! The bar was described as gingerbread spiced toffee, dark chocolate, and 65% cacao. The box’s…
Vosges Naga Bar
I’ve reviewed Vosges several times on this blog now, so it’s no secret that I love the brand but wish that it were more affordable. Then again, I guess it would be less special if it weren’t a splurge. The Naga Bar, comprised of “sweet Indian curry powder, coconut flakes, and deep milk chocolate, 41%…
Calhoun College Chocolate Tasting Notes, Round II
After the success of my first chocolate tasting (notes here), I held a second one with the extra bars. Unfortunately, by the time the second tasting rolled around, most of the bars had bloomed thanks to New Haven humidity and temperature fluctuations and a lack of air conditioning. The Vosges chocolate bars were the only…
Vosges Truffles
As previously mentioned on Monday, my box of 9 of Vosges Exotic Truffles were samples sent by the company. I shared them with friends, which is the best way to savor fine chocolates. From left to right and top to bottom they are (the last two trio photos are slightly off, with the Ambrosia and…
