Welcome to the Post-Thanksgiving Day, when many people enjoying left-over turkey, potatoes, green beans and cranberries. I'm doing the same, only some of the cranberries are covered in dark chocolate.

Fruits in Chocolate
Fruits in Chocolate (made by Chocolate Printing Co.) offer a line of two-bite sized chocolates filled with flavorful dried fruits, that are sealed in convenient, individual serving sized packets. And the company's Cranberry in Dark Chocolate captured the tart-sweet flavor of dried cranberries, just in time for the holiday season.

Surrounds
BiscoAmerica Corp. (Rialto, CA) makes a broad array of cookies and confections, including the Surrounds line. Think small, glossy dark chocolate, round pieces, with sweetened, dried cranberries inside. These were similar in flavor and spirit to the today's first offering, although I thought I caught a hint of cinnamon somewhere. (It was my imagination.)

Tomorrow, we'll be exploring blends of chocolate and nuts—almonds and hazelnuts to be exact.
