Last week I attended a chocolate tasting for Cote d'Or, a line of chocolate bars from Belgium. Now of all the food groups, chocolate is my favorite - and I realize it isn't an actual food group, but maybe it should be.
A chocolate expert paired each type of chocolate - milk, 70% dark, 86% dark and a dark chocolate mixed with orange - with a beverage - Kenyan coffee, and a variety of wines. My favorite was the 70% dark chocolate bar.
(The chocolate and orange bar was good too. I try to eat chocolate chip pancakes a few times a week and I can only really enjoy them with a glass of orange juice.)
When I asked where I could buy these sweets I was thrilled to learn that they’re available at Wal-Mart, Safeway, Shaws and even Bed, Bath & Beyond. And the price – less than $4!
Now that’s a sweet deal.
