Pears and chocolate. I'm a little surprised this combination works, as pears have a pretty subtle flavor. But, it seems to work, and this is not the first pear-related chocolate that I've had.

I'm working my way through the chip family. I've enjoyed chocolate-covered potato chips, and Fritos. This is the first time I've sampled spicy tortilla chips drenched in chocolate.

I enjoyed the combination (and as usual I salute anyone trying something a bit different with chocolate). I wonder how crushed pieces would be drizzled over chicken mole?

Chocolate countdown: 5 more days until I've eaten my 1,000th different chocolate in as many days.
