Episode 23: Bakery Nouveau & Madre Horchata Bar

Another round from the Northwest Chocolate Festival! Sooner or later I think you’ll be seeing a whole slew of varieties from this event – the companies were very kind and gave us so many samples. Not only that, they’re really good! Let’s check out two more!

Bakery Nouveau -United States

We want to be best friends with the guy who gave us these. Seriously. Both varieties we sampled were top notch and just extraodinary!

Check them out here – http://bakerynouveau.com/

Madre Chocolate Horchata – United States (Hawaii)

Dairy free bar with horchata flavor. Leaps and bounds closer to horchata than the last one we tried.

Episode 17: Fry’s Turkish Delight Bar & Theo Cinnamon Horchata Milk Chocolate Bar

Since having the Big Turk – the basic slur of a fine confection known as Turkish Delight, I’ve been hoping to find some for Kit to try. I mean if you’ve tried Turkish Delight, you know that it tastes nothing like chocolate covered Swedish Fish. I mean really!

Fry’s Turkish Delight – United Kingdom

A lovely melange of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and other flavors in a jellylike, chocolate covered package. Kit hated it.

Kit – 0 out of 5 stars

Hans – 4 1/2 out of 5 stars

Theo Cinnamon Horchata Chocolate Bar – United States

Hopes were high, but this failed to deliver. Inauthentic and didn’t evoke horchata; would you put chocolate syrup in horchata?
