Charles Chocolates
Hazelnut and Candied Orange Peel
3.4 oz. bar
Good. Maybe better if warmer; 65% bittersweet chocolate
A bit too pricey.

Trader Joe's store has provided me (and my family and friends) with some great food and drink finds over the years. And chocolate items are no exception. Today I enjoyed a nice mug of hot tea - Trader Joe's Chocolate Flavored Tea - with milk and sweetener - to be exact. It tasted Very Good on a cold winter morning.

In the high-end local grocery store where I occasionally shop, I've been noticing the small packages of L'estasi Dolce Truffles. They come in Cabernet and Champagne. I tried the Cabernet (1 oz./28 g. size - two pieces).
The two truffles I had were Good; they had a nice flavor; but they were a bit pricey.

One more clever little bar from Chocolate Crisis Center. Today's choice was the OrangeChocolate "HunkerDown." It was good; and I liked the nice small size (.75 oz.). But they are expensive.

I had heard of Frango mints before, I think. When I told an older woman about my chocolate bet, she immediately suggested I add Frango mints to my list. So, I did a bit of quick research, and hunted them down. They could be bought at Macy's - near Union Square in San Francisco, where I'd decided to go today to look at lofts. I didn't end up buying a loft, but I bought a 5.33 oz. box of Mint Chocolates Limited Edition at Macy's. They were very good. (This box cost $8.00.)
After that, I drove back down, and visited my mom in the long-term care facility where she is living.

I had another chocolate bar from Chocolate Crisis Center today. This time it was a
Dark Chocolate "BreakDown" bar.
It was Good; it came in a nice small size; and had a clever name/packaging; although it was overpriced.

I think I finally might be getting to the end of the Kirkland Signature Belgian Chocolates assortment box. Today I had three pieces: 1) Dark Chocolate with Vanilla Sugar Cream; 2) Napolitain - plain squares; and 3) Dark Chocolate with Dark Ganache.
They were Very Good.
