A recent Jacques Torres discovery sent me into chocolate bliss last week. Available in small packs at his chocolate factory on Hudson Street are dark chocolate covered cornflakes chunks. Made by blending cornflake bits and chocolate and then letting them cool and firm together, the end result is a crunchy mouthful about the size of a necco wafer. One or two of the bites make a mouth-watering accompaniment to a cup of coffee in the morning or as a four o’clock pick me up. For divine happiness, crush the medallions up a little and sprinkle them over vanilla ice cream.
The steep price tag ($5 for a baseball sized bag) is actually a blessing. It keeps the unsuspecting consumer from over-indulging in such an addictive creation!
