Oh Blog, My Blog!

Yes, I know, I haven't been faithfully updating. Shame on me! I will get back on the wagon, I promise!

Chocolate - Staple Chocolate, Trader Joe's

First, let me say that I love shopping at Trader Joe's. We get nearly all our routine groceries here, rather than Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck) or Wild Oats, which is now owned by Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck). Trader Joe's quality is consistently high and their prices are very competitive with regular grocery chains, much less the foofy yuppy stores like Whole Foods.

Their Trader Joe's brand of dark chocolate is excellent. Just five Weight Watchers points, the bars are small enough to not pack on the pounds and large enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. Their dark is smooth, rich and gentle, not bitter at all. I definitely recommend it. (If you are milk chocolate person like my husband, he says their milk chocolate is also good.)

Chocolate - Denman Island

I tried some Denman Island Chocolate Simply Dark today (http://www.denmanislandchocolate.com). It's lovely. Smooth and not bitter, it has a nutty note. At 60% cocoa mass it's not the darkest out there, but I don't like it too dark because then it's too dry and bitter on the tongue. This brand is Certified Organic and a Product of Canada, the first Canadian chocolate I've had the privilege to try. Recommended.
