Today was Day #7 of Chocolate and Toffee Theme Week, and Day #2 of Chocolate and Pistachio Theme Week. And, speaking of numbers...
Chocolate Anniversary: Year 8

What have I learned after eating 2,900+* chocolates? Among other things: 1.) There are enough chocolates worldwide that I could eat a different chocolate every day for at least 8 more years. And, 2.) chocolate is very versatile; it blends with hundreds of sweet and savory foods, spices and beverages.

OK, back to the Chocolate of the Day: Gary and Kit's Dark Chocolate Toffee Pistachios from Clif Family Winery (St. Helena, CA).
Loved the fact that these chocolate-covered nuts were not too sweet. This tin of whole, shelled, crunchy pistachio nuts with a toffee and dark chocolate coating were crispy and flavorful. The sweet, mild nutty flavor of nuts (like pistachios and cashews) can be overshadowed a bit by even a smooth dark chocolate like this; however, I enjoyed these nonetheless.
*I expect to hit the 3,000 chocolates mark, at the end of November 2014.
