Welcome to Nicaragua Week, and a continuation of Chocolate and Coconut Theme Week. (See second post that will follow this one.)
What do you do if you're looking forward to a 19-hour layover at an airport?
You can read a novel or book from cover-to-cover, and/or you can buy chocolates to eat. I did both.
I enjoyed Momotombo Chocolate purchases made during a recent factory visit in Nicaragua,*—where I tasted (and bought) some flavorful and tasty "Aphrodisiac" chocolates. Nut (almond) and maiz added a roasted, crunchy texture and flavor, that was paired with rich cardamom spice notes. Even one piece was quite satisfying.Don't worry, there were no unexpected side effects from this chocolate; so don't let the name fool you.
These chocolates were made in the same, oval, bean-shaped form. Note: These chocolates may or may not be available outside Nicaragua,
*Momotombo also has two stores in the Nicaragua (Sandino) airport in Managua.
