I'm looking for some cacao nibs, but don't have time to have them shipped. Does anyone know where in New York I can find them??

Thanks!

Whole Food's, 7th Avenue, had them last week near the cheese counter, as well as SB and Valrhona bars. The cake and baking supply shop on 22nd btw. 5 and 6 regularly has high end chocolate as well.

I saw them in Zabar's last week. But, I've bought them at Fairway in the past.

Additionally, Scharffen Berger has a shop on Amsterdam btw 82nd and 83rd. They'll definitely have them there.

Maybe cocoa nibs can be found online at www.chefswarehouse.com and they will ship it to you directly.

Put them in an ice cream, i saw a recipe to roll truffles in nibs, can be mixed with white chocolate, or I have mixed them into homemade whipped cream to top desserts..I have seen them served with asparagus and prosciutto..

Good idea, or top vanilla ice cream with them, and then drizzle on some good aged balsamic.

Also excellent in a dark chocolate, chocolate chip ice cream.
