Today was the last day (Day #7) of Chocolate (and) Surprise Theme Week. It was fitting that all three of these sweet items described above were also surprise gifts from family or friends.
The other "surprise" element running through today's chocolates:
sometimes I bite into a chocolate, and discover it contains cocoa butter (white chocolate), but no cocoa solids. Such was the case with the Green Tea Chocolate Yatsuhashi (from Japan) and the Sweet Earth Chocolates Lime Truffle. Both were good, but to ensure I received my minimum daily requirement of the whole cocoa bean, I enjoyed a Late Harvest Zinfandel Truffle (also from Sweet Earth Chocolates).
