Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Hazelnuts Week (with pecans and caramel playing a starring role).
Today's Dark Chocolate Caramel Pecan (bar) was a treat from a friend who was likely driving through Santa Cruz, California, and made a stop at "World Famous Donnelly's Chocolates," where chief chocolatier Richard Donnelly practices the art of making chocolate bars, barks and confections.
I don't eat caramels that much anymore because many lack much, if any, flavor other than sugar. This thick, rich caramel bar was very sweet; but it was also full of flavors: homemade butter, brown sugar, pecans, and dark chocolate to be precise.
The caramel filling was luscious and soft. I highly recommend eating this bar with a napkin or two at-the-ready.
This bar was accompanied by a glass of hazelnut "milk."
Ingredients: "dark chocolate (contains cocoa liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin as emulsifier, sunflower lecithin, natural vanilla flavoring), caramel, pecans"
Allergen-related information: None listed on small label; contained pecans.
