Our bar of the week is the Republique Dominicaine from French chocolate maker Pralus.  A 75% dark chocolate is made from organic Dominican cacao, this silky smooth bar layers warm fruit flavors with intriguingly edgy notes of anise, wormwood, and tannin, which taper to a remarkably drawn-out finish.

Come by on Saturday, September 17, to savor a sample of Pralus' Republique Dominicain.
