Pairing idea: Scotch and...chocolate?

Saw this in the Seattle Metropolitan Magazine newsletter. The author was invited to a tasting event at our very own Theo's. The combination was Dalwhinnie 15-year old single-malt scotch and Theo's milk chocolate hazelnut crunch bar.

From the author of the article:
"Now, I don’t even care about milk chocolate. I can’t remember the last time I had any. But the whiskey flatters this particular milk chocolate remarkably. Flatters it like a pair of dark, skinny jeans with a lot stretch in them. Flatters it like an English accent. Flatters it like a aptitude for acoustic guitar. You know what I mean? It makes you look at Theo hazelnut crunch and want to tell it sorry, so sorry, for being kind of bored by the idea of you. For not seeing your deep, sweet, caramelized-butter beauty."

Interested? I'd totally be down for experimenting with this type of thing!
