chocolate road test

Real Simple magazine has been a trusted source for all my food, decor, and personal needs. I read an article from the mag in which the staff tasted more than 180 luxe chocolate bars to determine which ones deserve a golden ticket. This is what they found, and if you are craving chocolate, I'd trust that these little blocks of love will satisfy.
