Today was the 5th day of Chocolate and Surprise Me Theme Week.
Surprise #1
My first chocolate choice for today (a hazelnut filled "Rose of the Dolomites" dark, flower-shaped chocolate from Loaker), turned out to have a wafer in it. Crunch. Surprise! (I don't eat wheat/gluten.) This led to a quick search to find an alternative chocolate.
Surprise #2
Fortunately, I'd been given a few sample chocolate bars from The Chocolate Garage (Palo Alto, CA) last night. Thank you Sunita for this nice surprise! And, one of these samples was a (gluten free) Rose Salt + Lemon 77% cacao dark chocolate bar from Antidote Chocolate (Long Island City, New York). 
The rose salt and lemon flavors in this bar were subtle and quite nice, and a 50/50 blend of raw + roasted ("Arriba" cacao beans from Ecuador) gave the base chocolate more flavor than raw alone. And, even better, the added dark roasted flavor didn't overwhelm the inclusions (rose salt, lemon).
