Welcome to Day #6 of Trick or Treat Theme Week.

Is it possible to have a high-end candy bar? There are several candy bars that cater to more sophisticated palettes.

Today's two Chocolate Fluffy Marshmallow Bars were from Baru NV (Diepenbeek, Belgium). One was covered with dark chocolate and lightly flavored with sea salt and caramel. And the second was coated with milk chocolate and flavored with a hint of chai seasonings.

These candy bars was quite sweet (as marshmallows are), but would make a nice addition to any Halloween candy collection, or as sophisticated treats.

Welcome to Day #5 of Trick or Treat Week.

With each passing Halloween, I've been able to include more organic, fair trade and preservative-free chocolate items—or at least ones without a lot of additives or artificial colors and flavors. It's great to have more choices.

Today's crunchy and chocolatey Classic Dark Chocolate Candies (55% fair trade cocoa) and Milk Chocolate Candies (40% cocoa content) distributed by Little Secrets, LLC (Boulder, CO) contained "no artificial anything." Instead of artificial flavors or colorings, natural food-based colors from plants such as beets and spirulina were used instead.

The purplish and orange yam-colored candies shown here contained an extra layer/coating of dark chocolate, and so were a bit larger than the red and blue milk chocolate pieces.
