Caraques

Caraques are flower-shaped chocolate discs made from a mix of dark and milk chocolate. The name refers to Caracas, after which one of the most esteemed cocoas was named in the eighteenth century. The flower shape is handwork: the chocolate is poured and shaped before it sets, so no two pieces are quite identical. The combination of dark and milk chocolate makes them more approachable than dark chocolate alone, without losing depth.
