Coco-luxe's Country Fair Peanuts (cayenne candied peanuts in milk chocolate) had a mildly addictive quality to them. "I'll just have a few" turned into "I'll just have 1.5 oz." To anyone who might be sensitive to spicy items: the cayenne flavor was quite mild in these. I also had a few Coco-luxe Block Party almonds, which I'd tried last month (4/7/2010) as part of a wine and chocolate tasting. I like them because they're not overly sweet.

Today concluded (Day #7 of) Chocolate and Spicy Theme Week, and marked the beginning of Day #1 of Chocolate and Fun and Games Theme Week.
