Trapa Swiss Rhubarb & Aloe Vera White Chocolate Bar by Evan Orensten
Trapa has been making chocolate in Spain since 1891. One of their latest lines is a range of chocolate bars made with Swiss chocolate (supplier unknown). The range includes orange and lemon infused dark chocolate bars, but the one that caught my eye was the Rhubarb & Aloe Vera white chocolate bar.
I'm not a huge fan of white chocolate, but this was pretty smooth and not overwhelmingly sweet. The rhubarb bits add a bit of crunch and tartness, and the aloe vera appears after the finish, leaving a pleasing and subtle astrigency on the palate.
Available online from Trapa by the case, or in New York at CH fave Despaña.

Baked Granola
Normally bakeries aren't run by two guys formerly in the advertising industry, but Baked isn't a normal bake shop either. The Brooklyn dessert destination houses cakes like "Sweet & Salty!" and "Oopsy Daisy," "Monster" cookies and giant marshmallows, leaving us thinking guys should bake more often. While we'd love to bask in the glory of these rich, delicious desserts everyday, it's likely best they're...
