Today was Day #7 of Chocolate and Nuts Theme Week. Trader Joe's has a nice selection of chocolate items in their stores that I've visited. These dark chocolate pieces were rich and sweet with crunchy roasted green pistachio pieces outside and golden toffee inside. So, thank you to the chocolate/candy buyers at the company's Monrovia, CA, headquarters -- or wherever this group might be located -- for making such a wide variety of good chocolates available over the years.
