The latest fruit that has captured my taste buds is cranberries (although nothing can beat a good slice of a sweet, perfectly ripe pineapple). If shipping weren’t so expensive I’d be temped by the cranberries in the 64oz size.

So naturally I was eager to try the Pacari Cranberry bar…

Pacari Chocolate (made in Ecuador) was once again a World Final Winner (in multiple categories!) at the International Chocolate Awards this year.

Their bars seem to be widely popular everywhere (in the U.S. and Europe especially).

The chocolate itself was delicious (yes, I know, I’m going to have to start being more specific than that…2018 is going to involve taking notes while staring at a tasting chart!) but I had a hard time finding many cranberries in my particular bar. You can never have enough cranberries!

Note: I purchased my Pacari Cranberry bar from an online store called Noje. While this particular bar is not currently in stock (and their selection is admittedly not as large as other online craft chocolate stores), I am extremely pleased with their shipping policy (shipping is free on orders of $30 or more, while other stores only offer free shipping with orders of $50 or $75 or more) AND the amazing customer service. My chocolate was wrapped up exactly as requested in order to have the best chance of making the journey unscathed. Save

This is Alter Eco Deep Dark Sea Salt Chocolate; isn’t it pretty?

Let me take a deep breath and tell you all about it: It’s a rich, bold, salty, sweet, deep, dark, organic, gluten free, vegan, non-gmo, fairtrade, sea salt studded chocolate. Whew.

Yes, I absconded with some pink sea salt for decoration purposes, but for the record, I put it back. Sort of. There might have been trouble if somebody found I put it back directly into the salt shaker, so I put it in a little bowl on the counter, intending to use it on my food. Somebody found the little bowl. “What’s this?” “Salt, leftover from my photoshoot. I didn’t want to waste it so I’m keeping it.” “Ewwww!” “What?! I used a clean spoon and I wiped my white background first and I’ll be the one eating it.” “Ewwwww!”

How does this chocolate taste? Good question. You’ll have to get it and let me know. 🙂 This is one of the rare chocolates I photographed and then gave away without tasting it. (I’d have to recall who I gave it to and then ask them if they recall what it tasted like!)

That’s all for now…

Very recently, there was a milestone birthday at my house (I turned the big nottelling-0 earlier this month), during which I celebrated by….not having any chocolate.

That is correct. This chocolate lover did not have any chocolate whatsoever on her birthday. This was for two reasons.

I’d had more than my fair share of chocolate over the past month or two. (The chocolate you see on this site? I had a part in eating a lot of it. And you haven’t seen all the outtakes, or the photos that haven’t been published yet!)
A little bird told me that some of my gifts would be either partially or entirely composed of chocolate.

The little bird was correct. My parents decided to deviate from conventional brands and flavors; one of their gifts was a stone-ground, hand-crafted, raw, vegan chocolate giftset by Rawmio, with intriguing flavors such as sprouted almonds and hemp!
