Today was Day #4 of Chocolate and Fruit Bowl Theme Week. So, far this week I've sampled chocolates flavored with banana, orange, tangerine, mango and other flavors. Looking at my own fruit bowl, I always try to have at least one lime on hand, in part because I think lime pairs well with chocolate items.

Ajaya is a goddess of love. She made her appearance today in the form of a Sacred Chocolate dark chocolate truffle with lemon grass, ginger, Balinese long pepper -- and topped with lime zest.

Today was Day #3 of Chocolate and Fruit Bowl Theme Week. A hearty Sacred Chocolate truffle with tangerine and orange oils topped with a strip of Mineola tangelo zest, and another truffle "covered with a dusting of sun-ripened mango powder" ruled the day. When combined with a small fresh tangerine and some fresh, hot ginger tea, these truffles were a good wake-up snack for a gray, rainy day.
