	Cosmopolitan Chocolatier with International Flavors - Vosges Haut Chocolat- Vosges' tag line, "Traveling the World through Chocolate," is more than appropriate as the ingredients that compose these creative chocolates are culled from all over the world and have a particular "East Meets West" theme, which marries chocolate with spices such as curry. The company's underlying mission is to promote understanding of different cultures through chocolate and the chocolates are made in an organic manufacturing facility. The sleek white and purple store sells not only truffles and boxed chocolates, but also chocolate drinks and chocolate ice cream that can be enjoyed on-site at a large communal table. The salted caramels are filled with rich, chewy deliciousness. Their most popular and perhaps gluttonous items, are those made with bacon, the chocolate bar and bacon caramel toffee. Vosges, a pioneer of the bacon-chocolate duo, combines Applewood smoked bacon with chocolate to produce a unique, smoky-flavored treat. The bacon chocolate can be an acquired taste, and those trying it for the first time need to stay beyond the first bite in order to appreciate the full flavor. Vosges' customer service is exceptional, with salespeople who are truly passionate about sharing the products. Check with the store for chocolate tastings, complete with champagne.
