Greetings and welcome to the first day of Chocolate and Cherries Theme Week.

Today's barkTHINS Dark Chocolate Cherry with Granola Crunch was manufactured for Ripple Brand Collective, LLC (New York, NY).

These pieces of bark were a great textural blend of smooth dark chocolate bark, chewy dried cherry pieces, and sweet, crunchy oat granola bits.

Cherry Love
As summer approaches, thoughts turn to cherry orchards that used to grow here in Silicon Valley in Northern California, and childhood memories of fresh cherries in the late spring and summer.

Fresh cherries may not be as locally grown anymore, but we can't wait until they're in stores and farmers markets starting next month (May).

In the meantime, let's enjoy chocolate offerings with cherries (be they Bing, Michigan or other varieties, and whether they're incorporated dried, fresh, frozen, or freeze-dried).

Welcome to Day #3 of Crunchy Chocolate Theme Week.

Today's Dark Chocolate barkThins were made for Ripple Brand Collective, LLC (New York, New York), which is owned by The Hershey Company (Hershey, PA).

These Blueberry with Quinoa Crunch barkThins were similar to other flavors from the barkThins family. The package held a generous amount of chocolate "bark" pieces containing a flavor inclusion.

Yesterday's dark mint barkThins pieces were peppered with peppermint candy. Today's barkThins contained fruit (sweetened blueberries) and gained added crunch from glazed quinoa bits. It was a balanced, satisfying flavor blend.

Welcome to Day #2 of Crunchy Chocolate Theme Week.

Today's Dark Chocolate Mint barkThins were "manufactured exclusively for" Ripple Brand Collective, LLC* (New York, NY).

These dark, bark-like snack pieces were generously studded with bits of peppermint candy, making them fairly sweet and crunchy. Dark chocolate was a good choice. (Milk chocolate may have made these barkThins too pliable, sticky and very sweet.)

*The barkThins brand was made for Ripple Brand Collective, LLC—an entity that was purchased by The Hershey Co. in 2016. The barkThins were Non-GMO Project Verified and contained Fair Trade ingredients.
