Lenny by Josh Rubin
On a recent trip to Maine I came a across a full grown moose in his natural habitat. He was not standing in a grove of pine trees where you might expect; instead, he was wading in a pond of white chocolate tinted with blue food coloring at Len Libby Candies Shop. Weighing in at 1,700 pounds, Lenny, as the locals call him, is the worlds only life-size moose made entirely of milk chocolate. I was tempted to have a taste of Lenny, but since he's the sole surviving member of the chocolate moose species, I opted for more sensible, bite-sized options like the Maine Moose Squares or the delicious chocolate and coconut Needhams.

Trois Crepes Dark Chocolate Perles
Pearl-shaped and tiny, the Manhattan patisserie Trois Crepes' Dark Chocolate Pearls contain something like a buttery Rice Krispy in a coverture of bittersweet chocolate. A pleasing crunch and slight saltiness makes for a surprising experience, but the chocolate balances both the flavor and texture. The Perles are delicious sprinkled on ice cream or yogurt, but we also like pouring them directly into our mouth....
