Welcome to Day #13 of Chocolate and Fruits Theme Week.

Today's two Root Beer and Cracker Jack (filled) chocolate cigars were part of a high-end, flashy* six-cigar chocolate box from Cacao & Cardamom (Houston, TX).

The company offers many high-end and attractive bars, bon bons and other chocolate confections.

Each of today's chocolate cigars were filled with two layers (one atop the other) that deliciously verified their respective namesake flavors. 

The root beer flavor had a darker root beer layer, and a white, light-as-a-marshmallow layer (could have been representing the foam floating atop a root beer soft drink, or vanilla ice cream on/in a root beer float).

The Cracker Jack** flavored cigar had a caramel layer and had authentic nut and caramel corn notes (and texture -- with tiny pieces of caramel corn and nuts.  

The smooth chocolate (likely milk chocolate) exteriors surrounded perfectly proportioned layers of confectionery heaven with addictive flavor and texture combinations. Not overly sweet, not artificial-tasting. Both flavors evoked happy childhood beverage and classic candy memories.

I really enjoyed these chocolate cigars. This cigar collection would be a great gift for a celebration. (Cacao & Cardamom also makes cigar flavors that are inspired by cocktails.)

For those who are wondering when the fruits will be discussed--this being fruits week...These two, sweet stogies were paired with a fall fresh fruit plate: slices of soft persimmon, juicy orange, and crisp fall apple.

*The gift box had a slim string of lights at the bottom that shone when I opened the box. The shiny pattern on the inside of the box enhanced the effect of spotlighting the cigars.

**Cracker Jack was a sweet, nutty and slightly salty snack sold in many movie theaters that came with a prize. Caramel corn (popcorn pieces covered in a caramel-y coating), peanuts and a surprise--all in one box. The word crackerjack has also been used as a term that can mean "exceptionally good" or first rate.
