White chocolate, left to caramelize until it takes on the color of honey. Comptoir du Cacao, the French chocolate house, caramelizes a pure cocoa butter white chocolate until it reaches this warm golden hue, then studs it with crunchy almonds for the Almonds Blond Chocolate Bar. Notes of buttery biscuit and caramel meet the toasted depth of the almond, in a pleasing contrast between smooth and crisp textures. Serve a square with fresh apricots or peaches, or alongside a glass of sweet white wine.
