There's always cause to celebrate with chocolate. And if I find the occasion lacking, I visit sites like holidayinsights.com, to inspire a real chocola-ganza. For example, Friday, January 26th was National Pistachio Day, a great fit for Luca Chocolate's Orange Pistachio Nougat chocolates. Unfortunately the nougat seemed to have leaked out a little, but they were still just fine.
Jan. 26th was also Day #6 of Chocolate and Cherry Theme Week (#2). Cella's dates back to 1864. Any company that started during the (U.S.) Civil War era, and is still in business, deserves some praise. I had no problem with cherry seepage with Cella's dark chocolate version of their chocolate covered cherries. The dark chocolate shell was quite thick, to encase the "100% liquid center" accompanying the cherry. I prefer dark chocolate, and a few notches down on the sweetness meter, so these dark cherries were a good choice.
