Post by: Natasha on April 18, 2015, 08:15:41 PM

I love the Firecracker version of Chuao chocolate. A little bit of spice, and pop rocks.

:)  it sounds interesting!

Chuao is a region in Venezuela, and one where some of the beans come from including the ones for this chocolatier.  A lot of the best chocolate beans in the world come from South America, but they're shipped back to Europe for finishing.

Yesterday I bought a fair trade dark chocolate bar with organic cinnamon candy in it.  I liked the idea of it, but it smelled of that health-food-store smell and tasted far too earnest.

This does not belong in a candy bar post!  Chocolate is not candy.

OK, Hershey "chocolate" is candy. But you win, you actually used candy in your post.
