Welcome to Day #14 of Chocolate, Pumpkin and Warm Fall Spices Theme Week.
Today's Maple Glazed Salted Pecans in Strong Dark Chocolate was from Chocolove (Boulder, CO).
The company has been producing a variety of chocolate bars and confections. And true to their name/tradition, there was a "hidden" love poem/poem excerpt printed on the inside of bar wrapper. (Today's poem was from "The Wreath and the Chain" by Thomas Moore.)
Aroma notes for this bar included: smooth dark chocolate and sweet spice (cinnamon) and very faint maple syrup.
Texture: This relatively thick dark chocolate had a smooth, creamy texture and contained a generous serving of crispy crunchy pecan pieces.
Flavor notes included: sweet, smooth, fudge-y, dark chocolate (with a faint, fleeting earth and nut); pecans; sparkles of maple sugar (syrup), cinnamon and faint sea salt.
This bar was a lovely and skillful blend of sweetly spiced holiday nuts and dark chocolate. (And a reminder of some wonderful chocolate pecan pie possibilities.) The maple syrup added warmth and flavor depth; and the small amount of added sea salt seemed just right.
