I made an unexpected (although not unusual) chocolate purchase today. I fell for one of the oldest marketing tricks in the book. Albeit when it's chocolate, I'm not a hard sell. I stopped at the drug store to pick up a few birthday cards, and these were waiting for me next to the register.
It seems I'm all about the chocolate pairings these days. Chocolate and wine? It's a no brainer! WIN!
Ghirardelli's signature squares are no stranger to the chocolate drawer in my kitchen. My favorite would have to be the hazelnut in milk chocolate. Coming in a close second is the dark chocolate with raspberry filling. This delightful little dark treat, however, is infused with flavor instead of the gooey filling like the popular caramel or raspberry. It is solid dark chocolate (tastes like 50% cacao) infused with blackberry and grape flavors. It is not as tart as I expected, but it is a nice mix of bitter from the chocolate, sweet and tart from the fruit.
When I opened the package, the first thing I smelled was the grape aroma. It seems that's what Ben smelled too because he made it awfully hard for me to take a nice picture. Too bad cats can't have chocolate; more for me!
