« It was a nice place to watch the game, but... | Main | I think I can, I think I can... » Tuesday, January 23, 2007The food sample binThroughout the day, the delightful co-op student who opens my mail drops food samples on a chair behind my desk. A box of crackers, a bag of chips, a bar of chocolate, nuts, a sweet onion, a new cereal. The things with no trans fats but lots of chemicals are given away immediately. Chips, nuts, and chocolates are banished after one morsel. Occasionally something strikes my fancy and I take it home to try. And so last week I tucked a 3-inch box of Das Caramelini Artisanal Caramels into my satchel. About 10 p.m. when the need for something sweet struck like lightning, I opened one. Wow!
These 3/4-inch chocolate squares are made with tiny bits of toasted walnuts, a little ancho chili oil, and some paprika, with fleur de sel dusted on top. There's no nutritional information on the box, nor a website. Don't worry. Your intrepid reporter found them here. You can buy them online: a 4-ounce box costs $5.99. DAS, welcome to my kitchen!
