Jelina Chocolate – Earl Grey

Jelina Chocolatier has long been one of my favorite chocolate makers that I discovered at Sweets and Snacks. The Earl Grey in 72% cacao was a free sample and the one that I was most wary of tasting, as tea flavored chocolates have never been my favorite. The dark, woodsy chocolate had the strong scent…

Madécasse Chocolate – Sea Salt & Nibs

On Wednesday, I covered Mad?casse Chocolate’s Pink Pepper & Citrus bar.
