Chocolate of the Day:

2 small squares
Dolfin
Earl Grey - dark chocolate
Very Good
Weight: ~.313 oz. (9 grams) for 2 pieces; 3.76 oz. (108 grams) total package of 24 pieces (variety pack with 2 pieces each of 12 different Dolfin flavors)
Calories: 46 calories (estimate) for 2 small squares
Cost: $11.00 total package of 24 pieces
Purchased from: Cacao Drink Chocolate, in Portland, OR

These Earl Grey chocolate squares from Dolfin (Belgium) were lightly crunchy. (Perhaps they contained bits of ground cocoa nibs?)

I was concerned that the dark chocolate might overwhelm the lighter, floral flavor notes present in Earl Grey tea, but I needn't have worried.
