Today was Day #4 of Chocolate Surprise Week.

I thought I'd have enough chocolates from Las Vegas for another Las Vegas or Gaming theme week. (I had one a few years ago.) However, no dice.

I was surprised, however, to find these two bars that I'd tucked away in the Chocolate Vault just for this occasion. I'd purchased these (and some chocolate poker chips) in 2013 from The Candy Shoppe in the Las Vegas airport. So this week's Surprise Week seemed to be a good place to include them.

Both bars were adorned with replicas of the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada" sign that greets visitors to this "Sin City" in the desert. This sign is so famous it has its own Wikipedia entry. And both bars were fairly fresh given how long ago that I'd bought them.

My favorite was the thick, rich milk chocolate bar with crisp rice.
