This Orange Appeal bar from Seattle Chocolates (Seattle, WA), was made with a mix of 53% cacao dark chocolate and 33% milk chocolate -- and was flavored with bits of candied/glazed orange peel. My only half-hearted complaint: I think I would have liked this bar more if there was about 30% less sugar.

Chocolate of the Day:

Divine Chocolate
Dark Chocolate with orange and ginger (bar)
Good + - Very Good
Weight: 2.5 oz. ( 70.75 g.) / 3.5 oz. (100 g.) total bar

Today was Day #3 of Chocolate and Citrus/Orange Theme Week.  Today's 70% dark chocolate bar from Divine Chocolate (Wash, D.C.), contained small, tender bits of ginger and orange -- a naturally compatible flavor pairing.

Eaten outdoors, during a warm, sunny picnic lunch, this bar was enjoyed just before it started to melt into a sheet of dark chocolate fondue.

However, hot weather-induced chocolate fondue, it must be noted, is delicious with fresh strawberries, and/or bits of toast, or gluten-free gingersnaps, if you happen to have some of these other items in your picnic basket.
