Welcome to Day #17 of Chocolate and Almonds Theme Week(s). In truth, one could easily go a whole month featuring chocolate and almond items. It's a great and versatile pairing. 

Today's Fresh to Market Almonds with sea salt Milk Chocolate (bar) was distributed by family-owned Nugget Market, Inc. (Davis, CA) and carried in their chain of Nugget Markets.

This chocolate had a pleasing sweet milk chocolate and roasted nuts aroma. 
And smooth creamy milk chocolate surrounded crunchy, salty nut (almond) bits.

Nuts and salt helped level out the sugar buzz. The result was an addictive, but balanced blend of sweet and salty chocolate.

Ingredients: Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate liquor, whole milk powder, soy lecithin, vanilla flavor), roasted almond bits, sea salt.

Allergen-related information: "Contains milk, soy and almonds. May contain wheat, peanuts and other tree nuts."

Welcome to Day #16 of Chocolate and Almonds Theme Week(s).

Today's Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookie was from Flour Craft Bakery (and Cafe) in Mill Valley, CA.

This generously-sized, gluten-free chocolate chip cookie had a slight saltiness, but not the full savory tang of many sourdough breads). The cookie had a satisfying, crunchy, semi-soft chew.

I sampled today's Flour Craft cookie with a handful of toasted almonds and with an Almond Ball from Health Lab (also gluten free, made with dates and almonds). 

Ingredients for Flour Craft chocolate chip cookie: unknown. Made with a gluten-free flour blend.
