From Taste Daily: Chocolate Alert
Philly has no shortage of gourmet chocolates. John & Kira and Eclat established Philadelphia’s place on the chocolate map – and now there’s a new candy maker in town who is taking artisanal chocolates a step further.
Rachel Gordon, a home-baking enthusiast in Center City, started experimenting with chocolate recipes less than a year ago. Excited by her results and encouraged by her friends’ reactions to her creations, Gordon set up R+D Chocolates and recently began selling her wares to the public through the Fair Food Farmstand in Reading Terminal Market. Crowd pleasers like fleur de sel caramels and marcona almond turtles have become market staples, but I’m waiting for the bacon infused version. Gordon says bacon brings a dimension of smokiness to the chocolate but no unpleasant porky notes.
