Talk about hitting two senses at once!  That's exactly what the new line of graffiti themed, rich chocolate bars do. And nothing could be more tempting to this graffiti fan with a sweet tooth than the colorfully eye-catching, decadently rich tasting new line of "graffiti" chocolate candy bars unveiled recently by downtown New York City's Chocolate Bar company - the award-winning chocolate maker with an eye for style and originality.

The ten individually flavored  chocolate bars are each beautifully presented in  graffiti-tagged wrappers, each especially designed by such legendary graffiti artists as Crash, Dondi, Blade, Crime 79, Lady Pink, Dr. Revolt, Iz the Wiz, Voice of the Ghetto, and Spar One. The confection creation, with proceeds benefitting the NYC children's arts' All Stars Project, (which benefits New York City high school kids' arts programs) was the idea of Chocolate Bar's Alison Nelson who said that the reaction from the longtime graf artists was "positive if not a little suspicious" when first approached to be a part of the candy-wrapper project.  But, she said, once the graffiti artists got involved that they had fun with the unique collaboration, even getting to "choose the flavor they wanted to design."

Lady Pink chose Banana Milk which is described as Milk chocolate filled with banana cream ganache. while Crash chose Dark Rum (dark chocolate with rum infused ganache.). Blade's flavor/design is Milk Caffeto milk chocolate with ground espresso and Dondi White's is S'mores (milk chocolate with marshmallow and graham bits).  The gourmet chocolate bars weigh 2.25 ounces each and are priced at $4 per chocolate bar or $40 for the nicely boxed "graffiti bar set" of all ten which while pricey for chocolate is cheap for art - provided that, unlike this weak AMOEBLOGGER, you can resist eating the art!
