DeMartini Orchard's website has a big fruit basket on their top page -- brimming with apples, pears and other seasonal fruits. This local fruitstand-style store was the perfect choice for Day #7 of Chocolate and Fruit Bowl Theme Week. A gold foil covered box contained both milk chocolate and white chocolate dipped, sweet glace apricots. I had one of each. The apricots were very moist and delicious, and reminded me of the apricot orchards in this area (Los Altos, CA) years ago.

All you jelly bean fans who also like chocolate. No need to choose anymore. Jelly Belly Candy Company recently announced dark chocolate dipped jelly beans. (You might be able to just make out the cartoon jelly bean that is happily drowning in chocolate in the box shot above.)

My favorite dipped bean in this fruit bowl (box actually) was Orange; the orange flavor tasted the most natural to me as well. Note: Chocolate Dips also come in Coconut, a flavor I featured earlier this month.

Today was Day #6 of Chocolate and Fruit Bowl Theme Week.
