Happy Chocolate New Year and New Decade to all! Welcome to the final day (Day #11) of Holiday Tea and Spirits Theme Week, and Day #1 of 2020.

Today's Ovation Break-A-Parts by Frey were manufactured by SweetWorks, LLC (A Chocolat Frey Company (Buffalo, NY).

I enjoyed these two variations on a holiday chocolate foil-wrapped "orange" tradition that I first encountered in the UK.*

After a few quick whacks on the edge of the kitchen counter....citrus-like chocolate segments were freed and ready to eat. And each segment was filled with a flavored filling: Creme de Menthe and Creme d'Amaretto respectively.

*Terry's Chocolate Oranges originally made their appearance in the early 1930s, the creation of family firm Joseph Terry's and Sons/Terry's Chocolate Works in York, England. (Mondelez International bought Terry's in 2012.)

Chocolate Frey, founded in 1887 by brothers Robert and Max Frey, is a Swiss business enterprise of the M-industry and has been a part of the Migros Group since 1950.

Welcome to the 2nd day of Chocolate and Hazelnuts Theme Week.

I have a fondness for hazelnut chocolates from Europe, so today's Swiss-made dark chocolate bar chock full of hazelnuts (31% nuts) made the "must try" list some time ago.

The Dark Crunchy Nut bar from Chocolat Frey AG (Switzerland) was both dark and milk chocolate. The bar contained milk and buttery, sugary crunchy bits, that added crunchy texture and sweetened up the unsweetened dark chocolate.

It was a very edible and satisfying bar.
