"choxie chocolate bar" news and stories

What do I want from a nearly $2 chocolate bar? I'm done with that sticky raspberry filling from Lindt bars, or the rather mundane truffle filling in a European Milka bar or those little chocolate bar packs from Trader Joe's. I want something that combines smooth and creamy with crunch, and a little salt or spice for interest.

Choxie's peanut butter pretzel bar filled all my criteria. I picked one of these up when I was absolutely starved, at the end of a very long Target trip where I'd spent too much money and carried my 20-some-pound baby around far too long. As I stood in the checkout stand watching the money melt away, with five minutes to spare before the doors got locked down, I saw this bar and couldn't resist.
