At that time, all I knew (and everyone else in the United States) was Milwaukee meant Miller. Boy have things changed! Craft breweries have been popping up fast over the past couple of years.

World Market Dark Chocolate Revisited
December 13, 2016
From time to time, I give a poor review of a specific chocolate. The reasons can vary, but in the end, it’s because my experience is less than satisfactory.
Sometimes, my taste buds are telling me one thing, while the tasting description offered by the manufacturer tells me something completely different. My expectations are high, the delivery is low.
But I believe in second chances.
Brownie Bites Wrapped in Bacon
December 5, 2016
Everything tastes better with bacon!
A local bar & grill in my town has a bacon theme. They implemented the idea of serving all you can eat bacon, for free, during happy hour.

Theo Vanilla Nib Dark Chocolate (Limited Edition)
November 14, 2016
The Good...
The Theo vanilla nib dark chocolate bar is chocolatey and crunchy and, yes, vanilla-y. The crunch mostly comes from the roasted nibs, but I suspect that the ground vanilla bean contributes as well.
This bar is 65% cacao so it starts with a healthy dose of rich cocoa notes. The chocolate has some muted spicy and floral flavors that peak out after the vanilla dissipates. The chocolate is delicious.
