Vegan chocolates filled with delights (published 2021)


Play all audios:


Matthew Kenney has teamed up with the chocolatier Sebastian Brecht for the East Village shop Casse-Cou, which ships nationwide. With the French-born Sebastian Brecht as chocolatier, Matthew


Kenney — the vegan Energizer Bunny — has now opened Casse-Cou (“daredevil” in English), a tiny shop in the East Village, formerly Mr. Brecht’s own, where elegant vegan chocolates are sold.


The kitchen is visible behind the counter and the chocolates are available nationwide. The fillings are uncommon, but before pistachio-saffron caramel or chai latte hits your tongue, you


have to appreciate the finesse of the silky, 72-percent dark chocolate shell that enrobes each one. They’re modest, bite-size and sell for $3 to $3.25 each. They’re also assembled in preset


or custom assortments in the shop or to order online, $14 to $55 plus shipping. Casse-Cou, 63 East Fourth Street, cassecouchocolate.com. _Follow __NYT Food on Twitter__ and __NYT Cooking on
