Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate and Peanut Butter Theme Week.

Today's Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Pure Protein Bar was "Carefully manufactured (in Canada) for Worldwide Sport Nutritional Supplements, Inc." (Bayport, NY).

The slightly chewy, slightly crunchy bar with satisfying chocolate and peanut flavors contained 20 g. of protein—from peanuts, whey protein and soy protein.

The higher protein content made this bar more satisfying/filling, and helped balance out the sweetness level, so it didn't taste like a pure chocolate candy bar.

Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate and Peanut Butter Theme Week.

Unlike other chocolate and peanut butter blends and items this week, today's Peanut Butter Organic Raw Chocolate Bar from Heart of Shasta (Mt. Shasta, CA) had a slightly more delicate flavor. The peanut butter filling was a smooth blend of honey, coconut oil and peanuts, and had pleasant, almost floral notes to it.

And the chocolate (made from 100% cacao powder and cocoa butter) was more subtle than chocolate made from roasted cacao beans.
