Robert Doyle READ TIME: 2 MIN.
NEW YORK, NY - Refinery29 has partnered with NYC-based Chocolate Bar to bring you seven not-so-little pieces of pure heaven: our favorite chocolate bar flavors maybe ever. Here's the breakdown: Dark, Milk Salty Pretzel, Dark Espresso, Milk Nutty, Dark Salty, Black & Tan, and Dark Salty Pretzel. If you made it through that list without drooling, you're a stronger breed than we.
Known for their premium ingredients and commitment to local production (yep, that means there's a lot of love in there, too), Chocolate Bar has become a West Village and Refinery29 staple. After just one taste of these goodies, you'll see why.
Chocolate Bar Since its inception in 2002, Alison Nelson's Chocolate Bar has started a mini-revolution among chocolate lovers. It has made waves with gourmands and loyalists alike such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, Scarlett Johanson, Jake Gyllenhal, Leonardo DiCaprio and Uma Thurman and in the process received numerous awards including Timeout New York's "Best Chocolate Store" and Wallpaper Magazine's "Favorite Stores Around the World".
Known for its high-quality cocoa and unusual flavor combinations such as "salty pretzel" and "malted milk", Chocolate Bar employs an artful approach to its candy bars such as graffiti-influenced wrappers designed by iconic New York-based artists. The shop's dazzling menu includes authentic New York egg creams, killer coffee, hot teas, nine kinds of iced and hot chocolates and fresh baked goods.
Fully devoted to reviving the nostalgia-influenced confections that once graced the tables of yesteryear, Chocolate Bar continues to churn out retro-reconfigured, new school favorites.
