Welcome. This week I'll be featuring several different chocolates from Indiana.

Perhaps the most well-known chocolates from Indiana that we see in the San Francisco Bay Area come from Endangered Species Chocolate (Indianapolis, IN).

The company's bars and confections are adorned with images of wildlife—mammals, birds and the occasional reptile—that is endangered or facing challenges.*

Today's All Natural Smooth Milk Chocolate 48 percent cocoa from Endangered Species came in the form of individually-wrapped squares. (Five years ago, I featured the company's All Natural Smooth Milk Chocolate bar.) The milk chocolate was just as advertised, smooth milk chocolate that was a bit better than most commercially available milk chocolate, with a slight caramel flavor note.

Both bar and individually wrapped piece packaging featured a sea otter—an animal we enjoy watching on the Pacific coast (Photo of sea otter on a beach was taken at Moss Landing, north of Monterey, CA.)

*Ten percent of the company's net proceeds go to helping to preserve habitat for endangered species.
