Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate, Warm Spices & Maple Theme Week.

Today's Sted Foods Organic Almond Maple Brittle 70% Dark Chocolate (bar) was made by TC Foods, LLC (Fergus Falls, MN).

Aroma notes included: dark chocolate (fudge-y, chocolate chips, roast-y), warm toffee and maple, and faint fruit (cherry).

Texture: smooth dark chocolate with a quiet riot of tiny, embedded crunchy-crispy bits (maple toffee).

Flavor notes included: smooth dark chocolate with a faint, balanced and muffled earthiness; smooth, mellow and faint nut (almond); and micro-bursts of warm and slightly buttery brown/maple sugar toffee.  Seasoned, very judiciously, with just the right dose of salt. Warning: this bar was relatively addictive (more-ish).

I really appreciated the thinness of this bar--that enabled easy access to the gently complex dark chocolate flavors, and the multitude of impossibly tiny sparkles of maple toffee embedded into the chocolate. I also liked the choice of quality, organic ingredients.
