It's part of their holiday series, so availability is spotty. The chocolate was, as is always the case with Vosges, top notch, I just don't go for super boozy.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974235202743391870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838573936273355855.post-74949598629726504042010-12-31T07:40:35.900-05:002010-12-31T07:40:35.900-05:00@Hannah Now if only your cute brother were coming ...@<a href="#c7053862249339616146" rel="nofollow">Hannah</a> Now if only your cute brother were coming closer to DC, I could take him to Biagio and help him pick out chocolate for you.

Maybe he can get you a mini of the marzipan bar and you can decide for yourself - I definitely tasted the booze, though. <br /><br />Anyway, a lot of the holiday bars are still around on the shelves of various stores. The stores here in DC don't have full stock, but one has a slew of Amalfi (review coming tomorrow) while another seems to have enough stockpiled Bapchi's caramel toffee to help everybody survive armageddon. So maybe have your brother pick up a few non-holiday bars, too.
