LetterPress Chocolate presented a flawless dark chocolate bar with it's Tranquilidad bar. Refined, balanced, and nuanced experience that leaves the tongue wanting more. The Rosewater and Saffron truffle from Charlotte Truffles was amazing, delicately balanced and wonderfully flavorful. Amano Artisan Chocolate bars always delights with perfection. I especially enjoyed the Ocumare Village. Michael's Chocolates offered a plethora of delightful truffle flavor combination that rang true, intrigued and sang with each taste. My favorite was the passion fruit. Codinha Chocolates presented so many successful flavor combinations of chocolates and their salted caramel. All were exquisite and rang true any beyond expectations. The OMG bar was truly an "ole my God" experience..

Formosa makes amazing products. Outside and in, every element is near perfection.

---

I was happy to see new vendors and old favorites. Quality was high, and so was creativity. Liked the experience of Charlotte’s Creme Brûlée bar and flying noir’s chililico truffle. Thx everybody for hanging in there!

---

Michael's flavors were extraordinary. Love the new ones. Soccola is at the top of their game. Every flavor hit it out of the ballpark! Z. Cioccolato's fudge is outstanding, especially the Guinness. Brewski came through!

The richness and style of Michael's truffles places his creations in a category all of their own. The flavors are strong and lasting and excellent. Siamaya had captured some Southeast Asian flavors in a bar. The packaging encouraged me to want to see what was inside and I enjoyed the combinations. Making chocolate bars "in country" is the future and they are there. p.o.p. candy had some great snack treats. I want to try the Whiskey Cordial creation with real whiskey and see how they taste. I found that the Codinha chocolates were quite good. It is not a brand I knew, but I now know it has some great. flavors. Amano is always a solid brand and this was the case. Socola creates artful and delicious combinations. It would be difficult to try them all, but they all peaked my curiosity. Strawberry Cream Soda is an exceptional combination of flavors.

---

I love Michael's everything, but especially his whisky truffles. So good! Also, Amano's Cardamom Black Pepper bar and their fruity Madagascar chocolate and bulk Chuau dark chocolate, which I would love to use in making very special chocolate chip cookies.

---

Thank you for a delicious experience!
