Featured Chocolates - March 2015

Based in Los Angeles, Droga Chocolates was started in 2007 by foodie Michelle Crochet. Inspired by her mother’s approach to taking traditional items and giving them a creative twist, Michelle headed to the kitchen to do them same with confections by using premium, all natural ingredients. This month’s selections are perfect examples of just that and include: Money on Honey – soft, chewy, caramel made from locally sourced wildflower honey draped with pure dark chocolate and a light sprinkle of French fleur de sel sea salt; Nutty Puddles – crunchy whole roasted California almonds covered in honey caramel and dipped in dark chocolate; Peanut Butter Bots – creamy peanut butter with a rice crunch enrobed in dark chocolate; and Big Bite Brittle – an award-winning brittle featuring peanuts which are combined with brown rice syrup and finished off with a light dusting of French fleur de sel sea salt
