  • Allow me to preface this by stating this: I'm not a sweets person by any stretch of the imagination. Sweets and chocolate and candy usually gives me a headache and is typically so strong-tasting my mouth feels like exploding. I'm an adventerous woman when it comes to food, but for all intents and purposesI'm a girl who likes her beef jerky, her salty treats, nuts, and salty cheesy things. And bacon. So years ago when I saw a feature on Vosgues on The Food Network, in which Mo's Bacon Bar is mentioned, I knew I would have to try this. You know, just because. Finally, during a weekend in Sin City, I managed to convince my group to help me find my way through Ceasars Palace to locate this Chocolatier's store. And when I walked in, I learned so much about the world of chocolate. There was the olive oil truffle, the sea salt truffle, truffles with (omgomg) cheese in them, and the exotic truffles. Well, I was won over with the exotic ones. The Black Pearl is a stunning little thing made of dark chocolate and an ever so perfect balance of salt and a hint of ginger and wasabe sprinkled with black sesame seeds. I wanted to become very small and dive into my little tester-spoonful of naga ice cream, which tasted of coconut (which I hate, but I loved this), and sampled the toffee which crumbled in my mouth ever so mouth-wateringly. The staff was informative and offered to let me sample whatever I liked. They were attentive, but it was also not very busy in there at the time. I took off with a custom box, with 9 perfect, pretty little truffles wrapped in a brilliant purple box with ribbon. Walking out I felt like those kids at the Candy Bar in Willy Wonka. Again, this was an odd experience for me since I'm not a sweets person, but I kept a catalogue and I am definitely ordering more. I hear they're opening one up in LA..... One thing. I did forget to try what I came for. Mo's Bacon Bar. I was so overwhelmed with info and flavors I forgot what it was that drew me in the first place. Thankfully I found a bar at Cost Plus World Market. I'm still not decided on the Bacon Bar, but Vosgues is the only place that understands me, and the only place I'll splurge for sweets.
