| - Yelp 365 challenge: Review 005/365 (8/5/2011)
Stopped by this place on Thursday, the afternoon before I left Vegas to return home. I actually planned to go here prior to my trip, but my vacation buddy put up a fuss about it being located in Caesars (i.e., on the Strip) - so this was a last-minute visit. A few of the reasons why I wanted to go:
1. Hawaii doesn't have a VHC branch.
2. S&H fees to Hawaii via the VHC website are sky-high, especially during the summer.
3. I was curious about the bacon & chocolate combination.
4. I loooove pigs, so I really, really, really wanted to buy the Flying Chocolate Pig.
Overall, despite it being located in what I'd consider an obscure section of the Forum Shops, the store was as expected. However, I was disappointed to hear that they ran out of Bacon Caramel Toffee, and would only restock the day after (when I was already long gone). I ended up just buying the Mini Exotic Candy Bar Library, the Flying Chocolate Pig (the last one, actually) and one each of Mo's Bacon Bar (Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate).
Since then, I haven't taste-tested anything else other than the Flying Pig, which includes bacon pieces. IMO, the bacon pretty much tastes like toffee bits and nothing extremely distinctive. It could just be me though, and my taste buds *shrugs*. I'll have to write an update when I try out my other purchases from VHC.
For now, four stars.
