Sweet graffiti from the Chocolate Bar

Chocolate Bar has launched a new line of sweets, this one with the help of some of the city's better-known graffiti artists.

The 2.25-ounce bars come in milk almond, milk cafetto, caramel, cookies-n-cream, S'mores, dark strawberry, dark toffee crunch, banana milk, dark rum and dark chocolate. They sell for $4 each or $40 for the "gallery box." Part of the proceeds will go to All Stars Project, a performing arts organization for underprivileged youth.

Graffiti artists Blade, Crash, Crachee, Crime 79, Dondi, Dr. Revolt, Iz the Wiz, Lady Pink, Spar One and Voice of the Ghetto. They also come with a graffiti stencil from Brooklyn-based artist Stencil1.

The bars are made by Alison Nelson's Chocolate Bar, located at 48 8th Ave., map. The West Village-based company recently announced plans to expand to Duabi and elsewhere in the Middle East, but closer to home, plans this year to open "Chocolate Bar at Henri Bendel" serving sandwiches, soups, salads, wine, beer and champagne -- along with the chocolate.
