Today was Day #12 of Chocolate and Cherries Theme Week.
What amazes me most about eating more than 2,700 different chocolate items in the past 7 1/2 years? The fact that I am still finding 100s of new chocolates every year, where I live in the San Francisco Bay Area still surprises me.

Mariette Chocolates (San Jose, CA) had several chocolates with cherries in their display case. So, I picked up four of them, and sampled three of them today.

The Cherry Jubilee was a generously sized domed truffle, with a cute cherry stem "pigtail." The chocolate ganache (filling) contained a red cherry, reminiscent of the kind you'd pluck out of a Shirley Temple (non-alcoholic drink) as a child.

The Sour Cherry Cluster was an irregular shaped chocolate with small chunks of natural tasting, dried sour cherry.
I also picked up some (red coated) chocolate covered cherries at Mariette's; however I'll wait to feature those later.
