Today was the third day of Chocolate and Southern Oregon Theme Week.

Central Point is a relatively small town in Oregon (north of Medford, OR); but if you like chocolate, farm fresh food and cheese*, I recommend a stop here.

Today's berry and nut chocolates were part of a larger assortment box I purchased this week from Lillie Belle Farms, in Central Point, OR. The two flavors -- 2 filled, leaf-shaped, Marionberry bon bons, and 2 Hazelnut Chews, paired very well together.

What is a Marionberry? A Marionberry (sometimes called a Marion blackberry), is a popular Oregon berry; it is a blackberry cultivar that was developed in Oregon.

The Lillie Belle Marionberry bon bon was filled with very fresh, organic berry preserve filling (caution: do not eat over white clothes). The amazing berry flavor complemented the square-shaped, Hazelnut Chews very nicely. The chews had a beautiful, fresh hazelnut taste to them. (It's such a pleasure to buy and eat very fresh chocolates.)

*Note: next door to Lillie Belle Farms (chocolates) is Rogue Creamery, a place with some great Oregon cheeses.
