This cayenne veracruz orange jcoco bar (affiliated with Seattle Chocolates) was what I'd call excellent white chocolate. The orange taste and spicy kick created a sweet, rich and well balanced flavor blend.

Because this chocolate did not contain cocoa solids (a requirement for my daily chocolate), I also had the following orange milk chocolates.

This bag of tiny, solid milk chocolate "oranges" with a hint of vanilla from Whetstone Candy Company, Inc. (St. Augustine, FL) were individually wrapped in orange foil. I'd been storing these in my chocolate vault, just for this very theme week.


Today was Day #3 of Chocolate and Orange Theme Week.

Today was Day #2 of Chocolate and Orange Theme Week.

 This milk chocolate and orange trio from Terry's Chocolate Orange (Kraft Foods UK) consisted of three different, individually-wrapped, chocolates in the shape of orange slices. (The company's "Segsation" package contained 5 different flavors.)

Each slice contained a similar, smooth base of milk chocolate -- flavored with natural-tasting, real orange oil.

The Milk Crispy flavor also contained small pieces of crispy rice. And the third piece was a blend of dark chocolate and milk chocolate.


In addition to being stamped with a small Terry's logo on what would be the "peel" surface, each segment was etched with a short, cheery message: Big kiss, Do the twist!, and the helpful Chill out.

Today kicks off Chocolate and Orange Theme Week. Orange and black colors are everywhere this week in the San Francisco Bay Area -- and not just because we're celebrating Halloween next week.

The San Francisco Giants (baseball) team is in the World Series; and after this evening (Game #4), they are tied with their rivals, the Kansas City Royals. The Giants team colors are, you guessed it, orange and black. After their come-from-behind victory this evening in San Francisco, fireworks filled the sky.

To celebrate the home team win, I enjoyed two Exploding Candy "Segsations," individually-wrapped chocolate orange segment-shaped pieces from Terry's Chocolate Orange (Kraft Foods UK).

These orange-flavored milk chocolate segments were embossed on one side with messages like "Kiss Kiss" and "Love Me," and a small Terry's logo. They were smooth and flavorful, and the tasting experience was punctuated with tiny, mild fizz-pop sensations from popping candy embedded in each piece.
