New Orleans Saints fans are arguably (but not by much) the most devoted in NFL history. The team, founded in 1967, played for twenty years before ever having a winning season; the year 2000 was the first they ever won a play-off game. It got so bad that for long stretches the fans took to calling the team “the Aints” and wore paper bags over their heads. On top of all that, after Katrina hit, the Saints were homeless for an entire season. As coach Sean Payton reminded the packed Superdome crowd last Sunday night (before he understandably choked up and excused himself), “Four years ago there were holes in this roof.”

But on Sunday, the team’s fate changed: a forty-yard field goal in overtime by little known kicker Garrett Hartley sent the Saints to the Super Bowl! We think Sucre’s Meuniere dark chocolates—in the shape of the team’s Fleur de Lis logo and dusted with team color gold—are winners too. Filled with brown butter and white chocolate ganache, they are the perfect reward for long-suffering Saints fans and a must-have addition to every Super Bowl party. The controversial—and soon-to-be-departed—Mayor Ray Nagin declared that New Orleans would be a “Chocolate City” after Katrina. We say there’s no better occasion than the Super Bowl to literally prove him right.
