Sugar Savvy

Cocoa Farm is an Australian chocolate company that uses cocoa beans produced on its own cocoa farm to produce a variety of different chocolates. For the chocolate lover who likes their chocolate plain, Cocoa Farm offers both organic and no-sugar-added milk and dark chocolate bars, however, I found myself drawn to the more exotic flavors. […]

As I am now back in Australia, it seems fitting that I choose an Australian-made piece of confectionary to review instead of one of the many US-bought chocolate bars I brought back with me in my suitcase. Sweet William is a company that makes chocolates free from dairy, gluten, lactose, sugar, cholesterol, peanuts, trans fats, […]

During my all-too-brief stay in Austin, Texas, several weeks ago, I spotted the unique design of Richard Kaplan’s Brown Paper Chocolates. Housed in little cardboard boxes, these chocolates come in hefty 4oz squares and a range of flavors that run the gamut from the tried-and-true (Dark Chocolate with Espresso, Kahlua, and Cocoa Nibs) to the unexpected […]

Oh, woe is me! Why did I only discover that a local cafe stocks several unique chocolate products but a month before I leave my town? The glass-half-full perspective would celebrate that I made the discovery at all and that, having done so, I now have another New York City destination to add to my list […]

One of the things I was most excited about when I found out I was coming to the US was finally gaining access to the weird and wonderful chocolate I’d read about on the internet. After easing myself in with Dagoba, I moved onto Vosges, and even though my distaste for bacon has meant barely […]

It seems like eating seasonally is all the rage these days. Sure, it’s easy to eat peas in Spring and parsnips in Winter, but what about candy? I know, I know, in America there’s always the egg-shaped chocolates at Easter, and the same chocolates packaged like pumpkins at Halloween, but such “limited-edition” candy seems, to […]
