Chocolate of the Day:

1/2 bar
Turkey Hill Sugarbush LTD., C.P.
Maple Butter Crunch ("in Belgian Milk Chocolate")
Very Good
Weight: 30 grams / 60 grams in 1 bar
Calories: 145 calories (estimate) in 1/2 bar/ 290 calories (estimate) in total bar
Cost: $2.99 Canadian
Purchased from: Bowring (store) in Eaton Centre, downtown Toronto, ON, Canada

No surprise; there are a variety of chocolates flavored with some form of maple sugar or maple syrup in Canada. Turkey hill is one brand that offers a few different choices in this area - in milk and dark chocolate. This bar was made with Belgian milk chocolate, and the toffee crunch and almond bits made for a fairly sweet bar but provided some mild crunch.

I found a store (that carried Canada novelty items) on the way to look for a laptop battery in Eaton Centre, a very large indoor mall in downtown Toronto.

Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in mid-October, and these turkey-shaped chocolates were already on sale the day after Thanksgiving this week. The filling was a very nice smooth chocolate.
