Welcome to Day #8 of DEFGHIJK Theme Week.
The letter "J" is for John Kelly, Michael Jackson and Jam. What do these three people/nouns have in common? Why, chocolates and the letter J of course.

I'm including this dark (50% cacao - from Ecuador) chocolate bar from Choc Stars (UK) for fun. This line of bars came packaged in a variety of clever wrappers, featuring feline or canine likenesses of famous people, including pop stars. This pooch does look an awful lot like Michael Jackson, doesn't it?

I later snacked on a final chocolate with some fruit jam and nut butter (no photos). Three chocolates is enough for one day; and now it's time to just go to bed.

This novelty chocolate, designed for gift-giving, was fairly smooth and creamy, but a bit too sweet for me. (Sugar was the first ingredient listed, followed by cocoa mass, cocoa butter, GMO-free soy lecithin (emulsifier) and vanilla flavor. "May contain nuts, milk and gluten.")
