Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate and Berries Theme Week.

Today's Raspberry Belgian Dark Chocolate bar was from Charlotte's Confections (South San Francisco*, CA). This bar had a pleasant raspberry aroma; and tiny bursts of sweet raspberry flavor were embedded evenly throughout the bar

So far, raspberries are pulling ahead of the other berries. No surprise. Chocolate and raspberries pair very well together. However, there are still more chocolates, and more berries, left to discuss this week.

*This bar was manufactured in Napa, using Belgian dark chocolate, for Charlotte's Confections.

Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate and Berries Theme Week.

Today's Red Raspberry bar was carefully made from scratch, from bean to bar, by Stone Grindz Chocolate (Scottsdale, AZ).

Seventy percent dark chocolate was blended with real berries. And the result was a medium bodied dark bar with a very pleasing, authentic, luscious red raspberry jam flavor.

Stone Grindz Chocolate makes small batch, high-quality organic chocolate in their workshop in one of the hottest metro areas of the U.S. Triple digit temperatures are a regular occurrence in the warm months. Air conditioning is a must have. (Either that or one might explore solar power to run the operation.)
