Xocolatl de David: Xocolatle Honey Beans

Xocolatl de David is a company out of Portland, Oregon that produces various chocolate products by hand. Some of their tasty treats include chocolate bacon caramels and Foietella (a foie gras chocolate spread). For a (late) Valentine's gift I was given a bag of their Xocolatle Honey beans, whole roasted cacao beans covered in a honey glaze and sprinkling of fleur de sel.
I really liked these beans. The glaze is salty and sweet, with a deep caramelized honey flavor. I really wish they sold the glaze in the form of a brittle or hard candy...yum! The beans are crunchy and nutty, with a deep cocoa (and slightly bitter) taste. I couldn't eat just one!

Overall these make for a really good snack! They can be purchased at The Meadow, $4.95 for a 1.2oz bag.
