Cost: $3.29 for 1 bar
Purchased from: Country Sun Natural Foods, Palo Alto, CA

Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate and Fruit Theme Week, featuring a variety of chocolate and fruit blends.

Today's Organic Mulberry Cacao + Spirulina bar was from Elemental Superfood, Inc. (Torrance, CA).

Aroma notes for this bar included: soft, botanical sweetness, subtle fruit (red berry + light fig) and floral (honey), and faint seed, nut and cacao notes.

This very textural bar was multi-seeded, nutty, cacao nib-by and buckwheat bit-ted, woven together with softer bits of dried berry fruit; and, surprisingly it had a relatively light (but substantial), integrated chew.

The taste was a tapestry of plant-based ingredients--diverse roughly-ground, largely intact textures that harmonized. The minimally processed ingredients had more layered flavors than a more processed, highly compressed bar would have. 

Happily, this filling, gluten-free bar also wasn't too sweet (thank you!). The bar contained a judicious amount of "organic, raw honey and no refined sugar."

Ingredients: Organic buckwheat, organic almonds, organic raw honey, organic flaxseeds, organic coconut, organic cacao nibs, organic sunflower seeds, organic pumpkin seeds, organic Brazil nuts, organic mulberries, organic sesame seeds, organic cacao butter, organic spirulina, organic vanilla bean, organic vanilla extract, pink Himalayan salt. 

Allergen-related information: "Contains tree nuts."

Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Fruit Theme Week, featuring a variety of chocolate and fruit blends.

Today's Milk Chocolate Raisins were distributed by DSD Merchandisers, Inc. (Livermore, CA).

Aroma notes for these raisins included: milk chocolate, faint fruit, and very faint coffee and salt notes.

Smooth, creamy and sweet milk chocolate blended well with plump moist dried grapes (raisins) that contributed their own tart, authentic fruit sweetness. This was a fruit and chocolate snack designed to satisfy a sweet tooth.

Ingredients: Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate liquor, whole milk powder, soy lecithin: an emulsifier, natural vanilla flavor), raisins, tapioca dextrin, confectioners glaze.
