Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Seeds Series. 

Today's 70% Dark Chocolate Caramelized Pumpkin Seeds (bar) hailed from Marinka Dobnik, a large chocolate supplier in Slovenia (Blejski Otok, Slovenija (Bled Island, Slovenia)). 

Thank you to traveling friend, Toni Deser, for bringing this chocolate back from a trip to Europe.

Aroma and flavor notes included dark, dense chocolate (with Forastero cacao variety-like cacao flavor + very faint vanilla) that tasted slightly darker than 70% cacao. 

This bar had uniform dark chocolate taste and texture. My only quibble: the relatively bold dark chocolate made it difficult to detect the caramelized pumpkin seeds.

Ingredients: Cacao mass (blend), sugar (26.4%), soy lecithin (emulsifier), natural vanilla aroma, pumpkin seeds (7%).

Allergen-related information: May contain: eggs, dairy, lactose, nuts, soy and peanuts. 

*Thank you to traveling friend, Toni Deser, for bringing this chocolate (and others) back from a trip to Europe, and for sharing chocolates from around the globe with Chocolate Banquet.

**Note: the Ingredient and allergen-related information above was translated from Slovenian into English by me, a non-Slavic language speaker. So my apologies in advance for any translation errors.)
