Today was Day #4 of Chocolate in Toyland Theme Week.
Teddy bears and other toy bears are popular year-round. Today's Lindt Teddy bear from Lindt and Sprungli (Switzerland) was all dressed up for the holidays.

And instead of a Haribo fruit-flavored gummy bear, this friendly-looking bear was hollow and made of 30% milk chocolate. It was sweet, smooth and flavorful. And soon, one bite led to another, and the bear wasn't there anymore.
