Nothing so here!

Easter egg from the boss was appreciated but I'm waiting until I've had a blood test to eat it

*and now considers reaping(at least somewhat)a windfall of sorts...will it be the-French-Pralus 100% Criollo-from Madagascar?...or the-also French-75% Ceylon, from/made by Bonnat? Or...the 72% -American-Vosges Creole bar(with New Orleans-style Chicory , Sao Thome & cocoa nibs) Perhaps the other American, the Askinosie 70% San Jose Del Tambo(from Equador) bar? Or Canadian Galerie au Chocolat 72% Fleur de Sel(with sea salt)? Or from geographically closest to home-so likely freshest, a Le Chocolatier Dark Espresso bar(yes, with ground coffee beans).? Decisions, decisions... *

Indeed I've not seen Bonnat over here in ages. How did you come upon this stash?

Recently I sampled Lindt Orange Intense which was ok. It contains fruit pieces but would be better with the almond pieces I think...

The 'stash'-so to speak-wassomewhat of a parting gift(purchase actually) from local chocolatier Kerstin Roos, who imported Italian, French, Austrian, German(although I hadn't noticed any Coppeneur in awhile) & American . She's now closed her shop and due to family matters will be moving to Germany in the fall. She, hubby Cyrus & their 2 children are currently I believe in Mexico as part of an ongoing trip to various chocolate producing regions, etc. They're making regular blog entries & posting photos in/on their blog(click on 'News & Blog' on the website - they actually met/visited with Stephane Bonnat this past November while in France.

Among the stash at this time are a couple mint bars - http://chocolatebar.com (under chocolate bars & treats, in the 3oz all-natural bars...oh, dk. with deep forest mint) & http://www.tasteofcamino.com well actually http://www.lasiembra.com/camino/en/chocolate-bars/mint/

Mint chocolate used to be my favourite when I was younger, we could get something called Mint Cracknell over here which was shards of very crispy mint in a bar of
