Today was Day #6 of Chocolate Surprise Theme Week.

Today's two chocolates came from Vosges (Chicago, IL), and were members of a chocolate-covered exotic caramel collection, with ingredients from afar. The "Crema" was an Argentine dulce de leche with Costa Rican cashews, and milk chocolate -- topped with cashew pieces.

The second "Maple" piece, contained Canadian maple sugar and walnut caramel, and was covered in dark chocolate and topped with maple sugar.

Surprise! I found these two where I'd stowed them in the fridge previously. The caramel centers were harder than normal, so I savored them slowly. There was one more flavor left -- "Leather" - which will be eaten soon.
