Confection for Chicks - portfolio.com
When Jean Thompson joined her family’s chocolate business eight years ago when she was 42, one of the first things that struck her was how confection marketing was so, well, serious.
An entrepreneur by nature, she saw an opportunity in taking in the traditional earth tones and golden hues that typically wrapped rich pieces of cocoa. She inherently understood that it was about the flavor and the sheer joy of biting into a luxurious piece of chocolate, rather than overly ornate packaging.

Chick Bars - Chocolate Ratings Blog
Seattle Chocolates has a new line of five Chick Bars with snappy names and some wildly creative flavors. All have firm centers, unlike their truffles. At first, I found the firm centers a little confusing; after all, fillings are usually softer than couverture, but, after a few tastes, I came to love the texture since it made each bite last longer.

Seattle Chocolates: Assorted Chocolate Truffles - Chocolate Ratings Blog
Just as thousands of artists have used the same paints to achieve wildly varying results, chocolatiers can use the same ingredients to create completely different products. This occurred to me as I tucked into a bag of assorted truffles from Seattle Chocolates. I had recently written about their truffle bars and erroneously assumed these would be very similar, but smaller. I underestimated their vision. They may use the same fillings and couverture, but the results are very different.
