The Count of Monte Cristo: Porcini Mushrooms and Peach in Dark Chocolate

$12.00

Our The Count of Monte Cristo chocolate bar is inspired by the origins of the Monte Cristo treasure as well as a scene on the island of Monte Cristo. In prison, Abbé Faria tells Edmond Dantès of Cardinal Cesare Spada, who was poisoned by the greedy Borgia pope and his son. To prevent the Borgias from seizing his fortune, Spada hides it on Monte Cristo. Even so, Spada dines with the Borgias, succumbing to their “lethal mushrooms.” Fear not: Porcini mushrooms are not poisonous. But they are Italian like the Borgias. After Dantès discovers Spada’s treasure and becomes the Count, he disguises himself as Sinbad the Sailor. Sinbad dines with Franz on Monte Cristo, surrounded by statues carrying baskets of exotic fruit, including peaches.

2.1-Ounce Chocolate Bar

Ingredients: Cacao Beans, Organic Cane Sugar, Cacao Butter, Organic Porcini Mushroom Powder, Peach Extract
