Today was Day #8 of Crunchy Chocolate Theme Week. I've extended this theme week by a few days, as I found several chocolate items with a crunch component.

These gluten-free (and nut and dairy free) Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies from Enjoy Life (Schiller Park, IL) were, as labeled, crunchy; and they were fairly light, with a generous smattering of chocolate chips.

These might also make good ice cream sandwich cookies -- perhaps with a vanilla gelato center.

Chocolate of the Day: 

Can Do Kid, Inc.
Chocolate Crunch Nutrition/Energy Bar
Good - Good +
Weight: 1.41 oz. (40 g.) in one package (2 pieces)
Calories: 240 calories in 4 cookies

Today was Day #7 of Crunchy Chocolate Theme Week.

This gluten-free (and corn syrup free) Chocolate Crunch bar (2 pieces) from Can Do Kid (Mill Valley, CA) was formulated with kids in mind by two parents, Deb and Chris; and it wasn't bad for a nutrition/energy bar offering. (Many bars with soy pack a little more protein, but have a bit of an off-taste to me. Note: this bar does contain, milk, peanuts and soy.)

The picture of the cheetah streaking across the label inspired me to get outside and grab a breath of fresh air in my tiny savannah of a back yard.
