Ghirardelli SquaresName: Ghirardelli Squares - Milk Chocolate with Carmelized Almonds
I couldn’t resist picking up this bag of sweet treats. I was originally plowing through the clearance table at the drug store because they had Hershey’s cookies for 50 cents a package (and it was one of the few times I’d seen the York ones) and I was hoping for some Halloween finds but then I thought, $2 bucks for Ghirardelli? I’ll take it! I suspect that this flavor is being discontinued because it has no page of its own on the site (well, there’s a link, but the page has a 404 error on it). Anyway, these are cute little 1.75” squares of milk chocolate with little crunchy almond bits in it. The milk chocolate is smooth and creamy, not too milky tasting but a bit sticky. The almonds are nicely roasted and have a good carmelized bite to them. Mellow and a little bit zippy, there are really nice little sweets to have around.

What about a category for “discontinued”—would people care?
I wonder if these would be even better with actual caramel in it. Mmm...Gooey caramel.
Marvo - I think they do a caramel centered square ... alas, it was not on sale.
I used to buy these occassionally when I needed a bite of chocolate, but now I go for the chocolate traveler tins for that. Have you seen those in Trader Joes? I wrote about them on my site awhile back here: http://www.lovescool.com/archives/2005/02/02/chocolatetraveler/ How would you rate them??
Cybele: Yeah, I’ve had Ghirardelli chocolate squares with caramel. They’re pretty good. Caramel’s a bit liquidy.
