Welcome to Day #1 of Hit the Trail with Chocolate Theme Week.

Trail Nuggets

I like to walk and hike, with a chocolate stop or two.

Today's Trail Nuggets Pro "Chocolate + Peanut + Fist Pump" Energy and Protein Bar from Bake Works Inc. (Vancouver, WA) supplied 10 grams of protein and fueled a walk on the Bay Trail (a 500-mile trail encircling San Francisco Bay).*

It had a satisfying cocoa/chocolate chew with a peanut butter filling that was not too sweet (thank you!).

The ingredients list for this bar was short: dates, peanut butter, pea protein, cocoa powder, peanut flour, water, and sea salt.

Holiday Cocoa

I also enjoyed a serving of holiday caramel flavored hot cocoa from Jason Scott, LLC. This cocoa, part of a 3-flavor Christmas Cocoa Assortment pack, yielded a single serving of warm, smooth sweet hot cocoa with tiny bits of caramel/toffee that was enjoyed outdoors, on the trail.

*The Bay Trail has been developed over 30 years. The trail will be 500 miles of finished trail running through 9 counties and 47 cities when it is complete. www.baytrail.org. It's walkable (or bikeable) now in it's mostly finished form. (I know this because I'm on my third walk around the Bay.)

Happy Chocolate New Year and New Decade to all! Welcome to the final day (Day #11) of Holiday Tea and Spirits Theme Week, and Day #1 of 2020.

Today's Ovation Break-A-Parts by Frey were manufactured by SweetWorks, LLC (A Chocolat Frey Company (Buffalo, NY).

I enjoyed these two variations on a holiday chocolate foil-wrapped "orange" tradition that I first encountered in the UK.*

After a few quick whacks on the edge of the kitchen counter....citrus-like chocolate segments were freed and ready to eat. And each segment was filled with a flavored filling: Creme de Menthe and Creme d'Amaretto respectively.

*Terry's Chocolate Oranges originally made their appearance in the early 1930s, the creation of family firm Joseph Terry's and Sons/Terry's Chocolate Works in York, England. (Mondelez International bought Terry's in 2012.)

Chocolate Frey, founded in 1887 by brothers Robert and Max Frey, is a Swiss business enterprise of the M-industry and has been a part of the Migros Group since 1950.
