New Additions to The Stash

What's better than chocolate? Discounted chocolate! A local chocolate shop, The Royal Chocolate, has a special offer where you can buy a twenty-dollar gift certificate for $14. After getting one for now and one as a gift, I headed over once I finished work. Seems every time I go there is something new to try, and this month they naturally have beefed up their inventory. So now I can add the following to The Stash:

NewTree Renew - Dark (73%) with currants and cassis. I bought the three pack nibbler as opposed to the full bar. I've had NewTree before, they market themselves as a "healthy" chocolate for the Oprah crowd.

Seattle Chocolates Coconut Macaroon - Dark (53%) with coconut and sea salt. This is a truffle brand. I've already had the Rainier Cherry and Orange Peel varities - both of which are fairly rich and sweet - and I wouldn't normally buy another one. This one, though, had me at sea salt.

La Suissa Extra Dark (70%) - Standard solid Italian bar. No frills.

Chez Hachez Ingwer Pferrer - Milk variety with ginger and pepper. The oddest of the bunch, I think. The bar is perforated with huge peppercorns and crystallized ginger. I might just video this one next because I have to see my reaction to trying it.
