Bar Code

Salazon Chocolate Co.'s Salted Chocolate Bars

Hey, y’all. It’s time to get cookin’.

We’re here today to talk about one of my most favorite ingredients (besides butter and ohl): salt.

I get mah fix from Maryland-based Salazon Chocolate Co. — sounds strange, I know. One day founder Pete Truby had him a hankerin’ for a sweet-and-salty combo. So he set down and created three organic, small-batch dark chocolate bars, each with a sprinklin’ of sea salt.

The original flavor is just that: chocolate and salt. The one with turbinado cane sugar tastes as sweet as milk chocolate (don’t be fooled, y’all). Mah personal favorite is the variety with cracked black pepper: spicy, sweet, and salty — a lil’ like myself.

The bars are vegan, too.

Though it’s a lifestyle I highly disapprove of.
