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.

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.

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....
