Oregon Chocolates

Normally we're not in favor of judging a book by its cover – but luckily, these magnificent bars taste as good as they look. Each comes enclosed in a sturdy paper envelope sealed with a wax fleur de lys. Edible love letters, they're made all the more poetic by evocative titles. We'll try to deliver them on a galloping horse (try, we said, try).

Helvetic

We're self-confessed type geeks around here, so any chocolate named after the font of all fonts is worth a taste, and this bar does not disappoint. A blend of two master chocolatiers' work – Max Felchlin (Schwyz, Switzerland) and Michel Cluizel (Paris). INGREDIENTS: Cacao, sugar, vanilla. 

Romulus Remus IX

Ah, cacao and coffee, brothers from another mother. INGREDIENTS: Cacao, coffee, sugar. 

Sindy

This 49% milk chocolate bar made with Venezuelan cacao and blended with Saigon cinnamon makes us swoon. Swoon! INGREDIENTS: Cacao, sugar, milk solids, cinnamon, natural soy lecithin GMO free. 

Othello

A white chocolate bar blended with coffee and cacao nibs. Classic tragedy – sweet in the beginning, bitter by the end. Rave reviews from start to finish. INGREDIENTS: Cacao, coffee, sugar, milk solids. 

Holy Wood

That's right, you read correctly. WOOD. Unusually aromatic Palo Santo wood found and venerated in Ecuador then blended into 68% dark chocolate made with wild cacao from the Bolivian Amazon. This bar is like nothing you have ever tasted but makes instant sense with the very first nibble. INGREDIENTS: Cacao, sugar, palo santo wood. 

Each bar is 0.8 oz.
