Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate and Caramel Theme Week.

The founders of Five Star Organics LLC (Oakland, CA) wanted to remake the standard candy bar, without extra additives and preservatives. The resulting line of organic bars and confections satisfy a candy craving and are made with higher-quality organic ingredients than you might find elsewhere.

The chocolate egg "shell" tasted better than bulk commercial chocolate used to cover caramel eggs. And the generous caramel filling with a hint of sea salt, while quite sweet,* satisfied the sweet tooth.

*Try pairing sweeter milk chocolate caramels with a handful of almonds or other whole food, to slow down a sugar spike.

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

This Salted Caramel Latte 43% Cocoa Dark Milk (bar) from Lake Champlain Chocolates (Burlington, VT) seemed like a good choice for a busy day.

Described as "a salty-sweet mocha treat," this organic, fair trade, Kosher Dairy, filled bar did offer pleasing smooth chocolate and (Dominican) coffee flavor and the sweetness of the "golden salted caramel."

There's also something fun about taking a bite out of a filled caramel chocolate, and looking back at a set of soft caramel "fangs," as the filling oozes slowly out of its shell.
