You must try Theo's in your own back yard (the old Pyramid brewing building in Fremont). The coconut curry bar is nothing short of amazing. Also, you must try XOX Truffles in San Francisco. I have tried everybody's chocolate and nothing compares.

I like how I can taste the curry or the cardamom, but I still taste chocolate, instead of ending up with a chocolate texture and a different flavor entirely.
