Today was Day #5 of Chocolate and Peanuts Theme Week.
John Kelly (actually two people) started producing their fudge truffle chocolates in Hollywood back in 2004.

Today's Semi-Sweet Chocolate and Peanut Butter Truffle Fudge Bar was diminutive but dense. A pleasant chocolate fudge aroma escaped as I peeled back the gold foil wrapper.
As with most fudge, this was sweet; but it was more balanced than most. The thick peanut butter layer helped. Nuts are a great way to dial back and complement sugary sweetness.
