Recchiuti Confections, one of America’s finest chocolatiers, has expanded and redesigned its line of artisan chocolate bars so handsomely that just one bar makes a nice holiday gift for lovers of fine chocolate.

The eight-bar line includes:

Classic chocolate bars in Bittersweet, Semisweet, Dark Milk and Fève (the French word for cacao nib).

Flavored chocolate bars in Almond, Hazelnut, Sesame Nougatine and Orchard (currants, mulberries and toasted almond pieces, coated in burnt caramel with a touch of sea salt).

Under the wrapper, the bars are equally handsome, scored into rectangles of various shapes like an edible work of art.

The three-ounce bars, in ready-to-hand-out gift envelopes, are $6.00 each. Four-bar sets are $22.00. The flavors are deep and vivid: a wonderful chocolate experience.

The chocolate bars are available online at Recchiuti.com, at the Recchiuti shop in San Francisco’s Ferry Building and at specialty grocers and retailers nationwide.
