Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate, Holiday Spices and Maple Theme Week.
Christmas was yesterday, but there was holiday spiced tea and two Christmas chocolate items left: Milk Chocolate Christmas Shapes from Divine Chocolate Inc. (Product of The Netherlands; distributed via Divine in Washington, D.C.), and a Mini Moos Hammy Hamster Organic Santa Bar from Moo Free Limited (Reading, UK).
Divine Chocolate
Divine Chocolate is co-owned by cocoa farmers and has specialized in fair trade chocolate bars.
Today's 26% cocoa Milk Chocolate Christmas Shapes included a snowman, a Christmas tree, a snowflake, a candle, a wrapped present with a bow, and a flower/rose. These festive shapes were a bit sweet for me, but were fun novelty items.

Today's Hammy Hamster* Santa was the last of four individually-wrapped chocolates from a Merry Moos Christmas selection box opened many months ago. Despite being from last season, this Santa had held up fairly well.
*Each bar from this Mini Moo holiday series featured a cartoon animal. The wrapper for this Santa was adorned with the image of a yellow hamster (Hammy Hamster).
