Welcome to the last day (Day #7) of Chocolate and Peru Theme Week.
Today's Popped Quinoa 70 bar from Cocoa Parlor (Laguna Niguel, CA) was part of a deluxe chocolate gift basket from a client. (Thank you GreenTown!). This was a true Chocolate Banquet, prepared by Present (Los Altos, CA).
Quinoa grows in the high plains of Peru, thus the connection with this week's theme. While Cocoa Parlor is also marketing a version of this bar made from Peruvian cacao beans, today's bar was made with cacao from the Dominican Republic.Today's Popped Quinoa 70 bar had a slightly earthy, malty, sweet, and rich chocolate aroma. I loved the creamy melt and texture of this bar, that contrasted with the popped quinoa crunchiness.
