Chocolate Bars

Spicy Pear Bar

May 30, 2025 by Richard Tango-Lowy

Peru Ucayali River 69% dark chocolate with Sichuan spices and dried pears.



This bar was inspired by
a meal I enjoyed at
a Sichuan place down the
street. I toyed with the thought
of making it sweet and a little
bit savoury with plenty of heat.
