Welcome to Day #1 of Chocolate & Passion Fruit Week. Yesterday completed Chocolate, Fire & Passion Week, and this week features cacao + passion fruit--two South American* natives.

After being awe-struck by the sight of a beautiful full moon last night, this "Moonstruck" bar with passion fruit seemed perfect.

Today's "Fruity Dark Chocolate Blueberry Passion Fruit" (bar) was manufactured by CW Moonstruck LLC (Portland, OR). 

Aroma and flavor notes included: slightly sweet and fruity, balanced dark chocolate with chocolate-y (dark ganache) notes was a bit darker and richer with the dried blueberries--and was brightened and warmed a bit by subtle passion fruit and vanilla.

I liked that this chocolate wasn't too sweet. The fruit flavors and vanilla were subtle, balanced and blended well together with the dark chocolate.

Ingredients: Dark Chocolate (unsweetened chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin [emulsifier], natural vanilla flavor), Dried Blueberries (wild blueberries, sugar, citric acid, sunflower oil, natural flavor), Passion Fruit powder.

Allergen-related information: Contains Soy (lecithin). "Manufactured on shared equipment. May contain traces of milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanuts, sesame and tree nuts."

*Passion fruit is native to Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Also known as Passiflora edulis, and by many other names worldwide: e.g., maracuja in Brazil, maracuya in Mexico, Colombia & Peru; lili'koi in Hawaii; and frutto della passione in Italy.
