Today's individually wrapped chocolate pods from Chuao Chocolatier (Carlsbad, CA) were very good. The "Passion" pods were filled with bright passion fruit caramel flavor and covered with dark (60% cacao) chocolate.
I would have enjoyed it if it were a little less sweet, but they were still quite nice. Wanting to be able to taste the chocolate flavors, and not the sweetness, seems to be my preference these days.
