Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate & Fruits Week on Chocolate Banquet.

Today's "Green Raisins tumbled in dark Milk chocolate" was created by SOMA chocolatemaker--a talented chocolate maker and chocolatier based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

There's something special about a simple dish or chocolate that's been elevated to next level goodness. This SOMA offering exceeded my expectations for chocolate covered raisins. They used shade-dried Kashmiri raisins (vs. golden raisins/sultanas we normally see in the U.S.) and a blend of dark and milk single origin cacaos.

Aroma and flavor notes included: dark milk chocolate, raisin (softly tart-sweet, gently fruity, moist, golden raisin), and faint authentic vanilla. 

Texture: soft, dark milk chocolate coated (Kashmiri) gold-green oblong, softly chewy raisins.

I loved that the raisins weren't too tough, tart or sweet; but they were delightful and flavorful. Gently sweet, almost buttery, complex and sophisticated, I appreciated being able to taste these little green grape gems coated with just the right amount of high-quality, dark milk chocolate. Warning: slightly addictive.

Ingredients: "Raisins, Cocoa Butter, Cacao Nibs, Organic Cane Sugar, Milk Powder, Natural Vanilla"

Allergen-related information: "May contain trace amounts of peanuts, and tree nuts."
