Today was Day #7 of Chocolate and Butter Theme Week.

Sometimes even a small amount of butter can make a big difference in flavor or texture. This was certainly the case for these rich-tasting milk chocolate covered caramel and pecan turtles from Lula's Chocolates (Monterey, CA).

The turtles also tasted quite fresh -- likely due to my buying them at "More Than Caviar" (Monterey, CA), a small shop located a short distance, across town, from where Lula's produces their line of caramels and chocolates, including butter cremes, turtles, toffees and rocky road chocolates.

Thank you to the folks at More Than Caviar for their helpful information about Lula's Chocolates, and Russian chocolates.
