Although I prefer dark chocolate, I do enjoy a good Swiss milk chocolate from time to time.  My son turned me on to Villars Chocolat au Lait Suisse when he brought a bar home from Switzerland.

This Swiss milk chocolate has bold toffee notes coming through a light, slightly nutty, chocolate flavor with a smooth and creamy texture.  Even more delightful is the milk chocolate version with added hazelnuts.

Now my local grocery store carries the Villars brand chocolate bars for $2.99.  At 200 g, this is a larger size than your average chocolate bar.  That's a nice bonus.

Villars was founded by Mr. William Kaiser in 1901.  He was the first to invent chocolate bars filled with liqueur. 

I don’t know how widespread this chocolate is being distributed in the U.S. but it is worth watching for.  Please visit their website, www.chocolat-villars.com, to see all the Villars products and learn more about the Swiss tradition of chocolate making.
