Michel Cluizel Cocoa Nibs by Ted Cahill
As exam season hits with full force this month, Chocolat Michel Cluizel, the Manhattan outpost of the legendary Parisian chocolatier, has made all night cramming sessions easier with the introduction of "time release" cocoa nibs enrobed in dark chocolate. Richard Perl, chairman and CEO of Chocolat Michel Cluizel, says "these nibs deliver the clarity, mental focus, and peak concentration levels you look for from a cup of coffee without the negative side effects like anxiety or that jittery feeling you get from high doeses of caffeine." "Prescriptions" for chocolate covered cocoa nibs are sold by the vial starting at $5 from Michel Cluizel.

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...

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....

Max Brenner
Max Brenner, the Isreali chocolatier behind a line of eponymous chocolates and a global chain of restaurants/boutiques, is on a mission to create a "new chocolate culture." Since the British invention of the chocolate bar by Frye and Sons in 1847, not much has changed about the way we eat chocolate. Sure, you'll find Green tea-infused fillings and single-origins so fine they're kept in...

Schwartz's Crunchmallows
Decadence takes many forms (and for some reason we seem to be fairly expert at several of them). Schwartz Crunchmallows are our latest obsession. Made in New York by the Schwartz family since 1939, these insanely delectable marshmallows sit atop a thin toffee wafer and are coated in semisweet chocolate. Other varieties include marshmallows with a caramel bottom, and plain marshmallows in eight flavors....
