I was in Vegas this past weekend, and the one thing I really wanted to do was go to this little chocolate chop in the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace. I read a thing on it a year or so back, and the gal that started it. She got creative and started mixing spices like curry, paprika, and red pepper with chocolate. Naturally, I was curious. The shop is right inside the door from the valet to the Forum Shops. It’s called Vosges Haut-Chocolate. The store was very modern in decoration, and the staff was exceptionaly helpful (although they wouldn’t let me sneak just one of the Marchesa truffles with pearl dust). I’ll give you the play-by-play as I consume them at a leisurely pace. My one regret is that they didn’t have the Mo’s Bacon Bar. That’s right – bacon and chocolate. Why didn’t someone think of this shit sooner?!?
