B.T. McElrath Cocolatier Salty Dog 70% Butter Toffee with Sea Salt









About: There's a guy called Brian McElrath, and he founded this company with his wife in 1996. They make roughly 4 different dark, flavored bars, and a slew of other related products, such as chocolate truffles and toffee and caramel. What I can't tell, and hence will venture a guess, is whether they make their own chocolate. My ventured guess: no. They source it elsewhere (somewhere good) and make the flavored varieties. Hint: they call themselves a chocolatier.


Flavor: Pleasantly chocolaty flavor with a salt-lick flavor.

Texture: The chocolate is very smooth.


My rating:  Solid 6 for texture and very nice, if not mind boggling, flavor. 



Rating Value Meaning
1 Really bad chocolate. There's something just really really wrong here in almost every imaginable respect.
2 A bar with this rating has at least two drawbacks.
3 A bar where something is starting to get seriously wrong.... for example, really weak flavor with an otherwise acceptable texture.
4 This bar is below average, but just slightly. Mostly it's not worth eating again. Something isn't quite up to par, for example a poor texture but fine flavor.
5 This is an average good bar that's worth eating. There's nothing really wrong with it, but also nothing particularly spectacular. Or, perhaps it has a good characteristic that's evenly counter-weighted by something weak.
6 A solidly good bar with one characteristic that's above par, for example a great texture.
7 An solidly good chocolate that has two above par characteristics, but nothing mind-blowing. Good, above average flavor, but nothing to die for.
8 An excellent bar with no weaknesses and at least one characteristic that's super.
9 An awesome bar to die for with amazing texture and flavor.
10 You have been touched by God.
