text: I love Vosges.  Why?  Because in addition to the chocolate with curry and chocolate with wasabi and ginger, they have a bacon and chocolate bar.  Yes, you heard me, they have concocted a chocolate bar with bits of applewood smoked bacon in it.  Granted, it tasted a little weird, but that kind of inventiveness deserves 5 stars.\n\nBoth times that I visited here, the staff were really good about giving samples of their merchandise.  They always have a featured chocolate bar with samples - the first time, it was the Barcelona bar (almonds and grey sea salt) and the second, it was Mo's Bacon Bar, the aforementioned treat.  According to them, the bacon bar was brand new and they had just gotten it in.  We also got to try the Naga bar, which, along with the Barcelona, was the favorite.\n\nWe ended up getting two boxes of milk chocolate truffles (9 pieces for $25) as gifts, the Barcelona and Naga bars, and a quarter pound of their caramel toffee.  I really wish that I had sampled their Black Pearl (wasabi and ginger), as well as the hot chocolate.  I also regret not buying the bacon bar, which probably would have made for some fun sampling with the family back home. \n\nA great chocolate store with some slightly kooky, exotic confections that work surprisingly well.  I only wish that they had an outlet in San Francisco so that I can try out more chocolates and have a steady supply of their delicious toffee.
