Today was Day #11 of Chocolate and Backyard Barbeque and Bacon Theme Week, and Day #1 of Chocolate and Fruit Theme Week.

What better way to cook spicy, Hawaiian mango and chicken kebobs and ripe, red bell peppers than on a tiny, pig-shaped barbeque grill.

For dessert, I fixed a gluten free version of cherry cheesecake to accompany two Dark Chocolate (66% minimum cacao solids) bars from NewTree (Belgium/U.S.).

Both the Cherry Dark Chocolate and the Quinoa Flax Dark Chocolate bars were either reformulations or updates on previous bars that I'd tried in years past. Both was good. The Cherry bar had some very nice floral and fruit notes.
