Bubbie's Almond Bar
by French Broad
Impact
Named after Dan "French Broad" Rattigan's mom, Bubbie.
A bar to make any mother proud of her son (women naturally show pride for their own) even as it makes every southern bubba wince some.

Quality 8.4 / 20
Another Peruvian base scooped up by French Broad on their last trek to the Amazon. Morropón sits right down the road from the label's Chulucanas source, & from where Colin Gasko contracted with broman Juan Tirado for the white-seeded Rogue Piura bar. Similarities stop there.
Accidental; this compound topples over from the bright volatiles that sweep everything up in their path. Just doesn't work.
INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, sugar, almonds, cocoa butter
