Spanish Chocolate Dipped Figs
Tender, sweeter than usual Calabacita figs are sun dried, filled with soft chocolate truffle cream and a hint of liqueur, then dipped in dark chocolate. They’re as good as they sound, perhaps better, and beat your mall-bought chocolates any day.
Chocolate Covered Torrone Bar
From the Piedmont in northern Italy, a candy-bar sized slab of crispy, crunchy torrone nougat. It takes all day to slowly churn together honey, egg whites, and tons of roasted Piedmont hazelnuts into giant logs. Then they’re cut into the size of enormous candy bars and enrobed in rich dark chocolate. Crunchy, nutty, and decadent.
Zingerman’s Peppermint Bark
It took years of tweaking and nearly a dozen takes on the recipe for the team at Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory to get their peppermint bark just right. The results were worth the wait. Made with a layer of dark chocolate, a layer of white chocolate, and plenty of peppermint candies mixed throughout the chocolate as well as sprinkled on top, this is excellent peppermint bark
