Here in the D.C. area, there’s a chocolate company worth some kudos — Zoë’s Chocolate Co. does a collection of over the top candy bars ($7.50 ea) and wonderful artisan chocolates with flavors such as:  Dionysus Baklava, Persephone’s Pomegranate, Orange Flower, Apple Pie (personal favorite), Spiced Pear Walnut, and other gooey caramel & Mediterranean inspired combinations.

Trust me, they’re out of this world!  Definitely worth the trip out of town to Frederick, MD and fortunately, I head that way quite often. Or find the bars in specialty food markets around town. Also available by mail order — or in your Emmy Awards gift basket if you are so lucky!
