Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate and Coconut Theme Week.

Today's Cocoa Coconut Macaroon Gluten Free Energy Bar was from Off the Farm Foods, Inc. (Redding, CA).

The company offers a family of chunky, small batch, protein and energy bars, including today's macaroon that contained 8 grams of protein (and 15 grams of fiber). Dates, coconut and cashews (the three first ingredients listed) yielded a chewy, naturally fruit-sweetened version of a macaroon cookie.

Chocolate flavor was supplied by visible chocolate chips/chunks. The cashews and a variety of seeds (pumpkin, chia, sesame, sunflower) and oats provided substance and protein.

Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate and Coconut Theme Week.

Today's Almonds and Fruit Dark Chocolate flavored Almonds and Toasted Coconut were distributed by Blue Diamond Growers (Sacramento, CA).

Blue Diamond Growers, founded in 1910, is half-owned by California almond growers who, collectively, produce over eighty percent of the world's almond supply. That's a lot of almonds—and potential opportunities to blend these tasty tree nuts with chocolate.

These pleasing nutty whole almonds were coated with a sweet, thin layer of dark chocolate,  complemented by natural tasting toasted coconut strips.

This was an appealing blend of "whole" almond and nut/fruit flavors, that could be enjoyed by itself, or added to trail mix, ice cream or other snack or dessert items.
