Gingerbread with chocolate is a perfect comfort food combination, especially as the weather cools down and the last sparkle of colorful fall leaves starts to fade. I've been wanting to do a Chocolate and Gingerbread Theme Week for awhile, and fortunately I found several items that fit into this theme -- including this very tasty Theo Chocolate Gingerbread Spice Milk Chocolate (45% cacao), organic and fair trade bar.

Today was Day #1 of Chocolate and Gingerbread Theme Week.
