Vosges Haut-Chocolat and Smashing Pumpkins collaborate
The two Chicago institutions have released a limited-time, song-inspired box set.
The Smashing Pumpkins and Vosges Haut-Chocolat, two Chicago institutions, have partnered to mark the 30th anniversary of the double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness with a limited-edition chocolate box set.
The box set, titled The Mellon Collie Sessions, includes six chocolate bars total—comprising three distinct flavors, with two bars of each—and an exclusive poster. The chocolate selections are designed to reflect the emotional range of the album.
Flavors featured in the box set include:
- “Zero”–Black Raspberry Tea Bar: Made with 62% dark chocolate steeped in Madame Zuzu’s Forbidden Forest Lapsang Souchong, with black tea and wild raspberry notes.
- “Tonight Tonight”–Electric Blue Matcha Bar: Vegan white chocolate infused with Madame ZuZu's Electric Blue Matcha, spirulina, and lime.
- “1979” – Kitchen Sink Bar: 72% dark chocolate combined with pretzels, marshmallow, and rice crunch.
The box set can be purchased at vosgeshautchocolate.com, at the Vosges Haut-Chocolat retail stores in Chicago, and at Madame Zuzu’s Tea House in Highland Park, IL.
