Today's Rio Caribe Superior bar from Patric Chocolate, made with cacao from the Paria Peninsula in Venezuela, contained a liberal sprinkling of crunchy cacao nibs on the back side, and a subtle dash of sea salt. A great choice for a hike along the California coastal trail and a lunch stop at a sandy beach along the Pacific Ocean.

This 70% bar, available exclusively through The Chocolate Garage in Palo Alto and nick-named the "Rio Crunch" bar, was made with just four, high-quality ingredients: cacao, cane sugar, cocoa butter and sea salt. A relatively light touch on the sugar shaker allowed the complex flavors of the chocolate to shine through -- such as a hint of olive.

Today was Day #5 of Crunchy Chocolate Theme Week.
