Bi-Rite, my neighborhood old timey grocery shop, recently installed a wall of chocolate, which features the usual suspects like Guittard and Recchiuti, as well as interesting selections from smaller local chocolatiers Michael Mischer Chocolates and Charles Chocolates.
I immediately noticed the chocolate-covered graham crackers from Kika's Treats, which seemed to rival my confectionary holy grail: Bridgewater Chocolate's grahams covered with lime cream and dark chocolate. When I was touring regional potato chip plants and chocolate factories (good old days!), I stopped in at Bridgewater and was crushed to discover that visitors were only allowed into the outlet shop. For shame!
No lime cream here: Kika's crackers taste like they are coated in butter and a pinch of salt, then dipped in the most delicious dark chocolate ever. Simple, elegant, bone-shatteringly delicious.
In a fancy home magazine like Domino, they'd probably recommend that you leave these on a vintage modern nightstand as a thoughtful treat for houseguests. But since I live in a studio in San Francisco, I'll just eat 'em all myself.
