Lenny by Josh Rubin

Lenny-The-Moose

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.

Chuao Firecracker Chocolates
We love a good high-brow low-brow mash up, and that's exactly what Chuao's new Firecracker chocolates provide—a combination of very tasty chocolate, a little salt, the heat of chipotle and the pop of crackling candy. We were surprised how much we liked it. While they offer a small variety of firecracker chocolate bars, we particularly enjoyed the chocolate truffles, which delivered, as someone said, "a...
Suite 88 Chocolatier: Les Shooters
When the world's most desirable confection meets some of the finest spirits, it's bound to be a successful combination. Case in point, Les Shooters from Montreal's first chocolate lounge and boutique, Suite 88. The shooters, which appear to be average, conical truffles are actually chocolate containers filled with an assortment of 12 different liquors. To take the shooter, first bite the tip off before...
Mari's Brownies
With adventurous flavor combinations, like Thai Coffee and Fig Port, made entirely from scratch using premium ingredients and a fudgey texture, Mari's Brownies are CH's kind of treat. We also like their refreshingly small size, making them a moderate indulgence rather than a "guess-I'm-skipping-dinner" kind. Neatly packaged in their signature Pumpkin-hued baton boxes and wrapped with custom ribbon, the dense, rich squares make perfect...
