Cool Hunting
Coated in rich, dark chocolate and with addictive spiced pumpkin seeds, Veré's take on caramel corn, called Pumpkorn, is just in time for Halloween. Samples of the new product at CH HQ were quickly gobbled up—our tasters were surprised but enjoyed the pleasant heat of the Chipotle chile powder. The spice contrasts nicely with the sticky sweetness of the caramel, the crunch of the corn and the nuttiness of the seeds. It's a perfect Autumnal treat by one of our favorite chocolate-makers, but we're already hearing rumors from Veré that it might become a year-round specialty.
Currently Pumpkorn's limited to Veré's local markets in Manhattan (see a list of stores after the jump), retailing for $5 per bag.

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...
Incredibly rich and delicious, Fine and Raw Fine and Raw are made using artisan low heat techniques to preserve raw vitality. Made from sustainably-produced shade grown raw cacao harvested from the Ecuadorian rainforest, the chocolates contain no sugar, dairy or additives and have a creamy soft consistency on par with the normal stuff. Loaded with anti-oxidants, magnesium and other nutrients, the chocolates are made...
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....
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....
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...
While having your cake and eating it too is a rare treat, Compartes Chocolatier's "Chocolates for a Cause" means you can have your chocolate, eat it and provide much-needed assistance to Darfur. The African collection consists of African-inspired flavors (our favorites were Cardamom and Coconut and Organic Red Rooibus Tea) and each truffle is imprinted with an outline in the shape of the continent....
