Product Guide: November 2006 Archives

I love the packaging on Fresh Direct's new line of chocolates, and the varieties, like this dark chocolate bark with fig, pine nuts and cinnamon, are enticing. But I'm withholding judgment; I learned from Target's choxie that pretty packaging and yummy sounding flavors do not a good chocolate make.

I have opened up the PB & J bar and it's pretty good. I'm not swooning, but the raspberry puree is a tart hit. The peanut butter, though, is all texture: smooth, bland peanut butter with crunchy little bites of toasted rice throughout. No, wait. Yummm. Chocolate. Peanut butter. Raspberry.
