Vosges Goji Bar

To celebrate the end of my busy work week, I got this chocolate bar from Vosges Chocolates called the Goji Bar. Although there were other great bars to indulge on, I chose this one for its exotic ingredients. This particular deep milk chocolate (41% cacao) bar has Tibetan goji berries and pink Himalayan salt. 

I am always impressed with this chocolatier. They use exotic spices, fruits, nuts and other things of the food kind that one would not expect that it complements well with chocolate (i.e. bacon - yes, try their Mo's Bacon Bar and you'll know what I mean). My tasting experience with Vosges chocolates began when my husband (then boyfriend) brought home two squares (what was left of a whole bar) of the Black Pearl bar. The only time I put wasabi in food would be in sushi. I never expected that wasabi could taste great in chocolate. 

As for the Goji bar, the tartness of the goji berries balanced the sweetness of the chocolate. The hint of salt made it even more thrilling as the chocolate melted in the mouth - that burst of salt crystals jolted my senses.  This chocolate made the husband say, "WOW! This chocolate is awesome!" And as I am writing this post, you can be sure that I am enjoying a little piece of this amazing chocolate.
