Happy very belated Mardis Gras all. This week I thought I would focus on chocolate money. These Blue Frog coins were surprisingly good. (I tried the purple, green and gold ones.) Perhaps my expectations were too low for chocolate coinage.

Also, Blue Frog, I salute your creativity! Hailing from New Orleans, the city so affected by Hurricane Katrina a few years ago, the company has incorporated humor in some of their chocolate offerings, such as the "FEMA Approved Blue Roof Houses" (I ordered one) and the "Hurricane Katrina Trash Piles" (which, sadly, was pictured on their site, but is no longer available). And, I enjoyed their claim that chocolate is "nature's way of making up for okra"...This is funny; however, I actually like okra, especially okra pickles. I haven't tried pickled okra with chocolate, yet.
