I just nibbled on some Vosges Blood Orange Caramel Bar and boy was it divine. I was reading on the back of the packaging and it explains how to enjoy an exotic candy bar. So here it goes.
Breathe...Engage your senses. Take three deep ujjayi breaths, quiet the chattering mind and be in the present moment.
See...There should be a glossy shine to the chocolate bar indication a tight bond between the cocoa butter and the cocoa mass.
Smell...Rub your thumb in the chocolate bar's surface to help release the peppermint notes. Inhale deeply.
Snap...Break the bar in two pieces. Hear a crisp, ringing pop, which indicates a well-tempered bar of chocolate. You will hear the loudest snap with dark chocolate, soft break with milk and a faint whisper with white.
Taste...Place a small piece of chocolate on your tongue and press it to the roof of your mouth. Within thirty seconds the chocolate square will begin to melt, revealing layers of revitalizing peppermint amongst deep, dark chocolate.
Peace, Love and chocolate.
Enjoy.
