Today was Day #3 of Chocolate, Banana and Cherry Theme Week. Last week, I was enjoying fresh tropical fruit and chocolates on the island of Maui. So, both today's Wow-Wee chocolate bar with macadamia nuts and chewy banana, and the Amaretto Cherry Almond truffle from the Surfing Goat Dairy, hail from this island in Hawaii.

Wow-Wee Maui's chocolate bar line is now fairly broad, but this bar with macadamia nut pieces, and bits of chewy banana was the original Wow-Wee chocolate bar.

The Amaretto Cherry truffle was made with goat milk/cheese, although I doubt most people would guess this, as the goat flavor is very difficult to detect.

I enjoyed these two chocolates with fresh cherry plums from a tree in my backyard, a fresh banana and an ice cold cherry juice drink. (Don't all cherries grow with googly eyes?)

Chocolate of the Day:

1/2 bar
Wow Wee - Maui's Candy Bar
Dark Chocolate Hawaiian Coconut (bar)
Good + - Very Good
Weight: .875 oz. (25 g.) / 1.75 oz. (50 g.) total bar
Calories: 130 calories (estimate)
Cost: $2.00
Purchased from: Cafe at Nahiku Market Place - Maui, Hawaii

I decided to extend Chocolate and Coconut Theme Week a few days, until we leave Hawaii. There are too many great coconut-related chocolates, tropical fruits and other great items available at road stands and small markets.

Yesterday, we found one such road stand/market: the Nahiku Market Place, on the road to Hana, in Maui. The market was made up of a few informal vendor stands in the middle of a lush, green tropical jungle. A small cafe hut served beverages, and also carried Wow-Wee chocolate bars. This slightly soft, fudgy, Dark Chocolate Hawaiian Coconut bar paired nicely with some fresh oven-roasted coconut candy from another vendor, and a stir-fry fish, vegetable and steamed rice dish from a chef working out of a trailer.
