Flowery saffron marries creamy milk chocolate in a sweet union that’ll make you fall in love with possibility again. Another charming note: the Austin-based co-founders of this confection were so inspired by one of their mom’s Indian cooking that they named the company after her. It’s all the more delicious an homage if you know that “Madhu” means honey or sweet in Hindi. And all the more fragrant when you unwrap the gorgeous packaging, which is a paean to Indian textiles. The luxuriant aroma hints at the perfection of this pairing. 

Tip of the Tongue:

For an easy and unexpected dessert course at your next dinner party, put out a tray of unexpected chocolate concoctions. Along with this bar, think: Crow & Moss’ Earl Grey Tea 67% Chocolate Bar and Black Pig Meat Co.’s Bacon Peanut Butter Cups.
