Chocolate of the Day:
This well-tempered dark bar broke with a hard snap, and had an aroma with dark chocolate, spice, toast and dried fruit notes. The Belize 70% chocolate was smooth, almost creamy, and the bar had a light plum and cardamom spice finish.
*Note: The bar was listed as sold out on the company's website.

Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Botanicals Theme Week.
Today's "The Secret Garden" dark bar from Map Chocolate Co. (Eugene, OR) had a long, poetic name: "The Secret Garden respite from the storm Belize 70% with dried plum and cardamom."
This attractively packaged and designed bar came with a tiny leaflet laced with colorful, commentary—a weaving of information about the chocolate bar (makers notes) with memories and associations.
Pieces of local (Oregon) dried plum, and freshly-peeled cardamom seeds, adorned the back of this bar.
