I liked being able to taste the pistachio nuts in this Green Chili Pistachio Bar from ChocolateSmith (New Mexico). The pistachios were still crunchy (i.e. not too soft); and I thought the amount and distribution of the green chili powder was about right...Oops. I ate this bark before scanning an image of it.

My apologies: All I have is the empty plastic bag/wrapping to show you. The chocolate was much more attractive than this. I don't usually do this, but in the interest of doing this product justice, I'm also including an image of this bark from the ChocolateSmith.com website at right.

Chocolate of the Day:

1 bar
Zotter
LimeHoney "Limonate" bar
(organic, fair trade, "hand scooped")
Good + - Very Good
Weight: 2.47 oz. (70 g.) in 1 bar
Calories: 370 calories (estimate) in 1 bar
Cost: $6.48 for 1 bar
Purchased from: Fog City News, in San Francisco, CA

This chocolate bar from Zotter (Austria) contained "dark mountain milk chocolate filled with limes and honey;" and it contains a hint of cane sugar brandy. Brazil nuts, and honey and rice flour helped create a honey crunch element in the lemon-lime flavored filling.
