Chocolate Heaven: The Edgy Hipster

Vice Chocolates, Oakland

Diablo Magazine, published February 2012

“Why? Oakland resident I-Li Chang looks like the lead singer of an underground rock band (which she is), and her gorgeously decorated chocolates have a similarly edgy bent. Try this: Inspired by the tragic opera about an affair between a French diplomat and a Chinese singer, the M. Butterfly shows off subtle Asian-influenced flavors of lemongrass, kaffir lime, and coconut milk mixed in a white chocolate ganache. V-Day special: Sample a variety of Chang’s sexiest flavors, such as the Violent Heart (chipotle caramel), the Vixen (passion fruit with Thai chili), and the Scarlet (strawberry truffle) packaged in a special snakeskin-textured box.”
