Day 309: (Hot)-Chocolate- Spicy Chocolate

Sweet packaging

     A friend and co-worker of mine (Stefanie, who has quite an entertaining blog despite what she says about it. Click here to have a go with it) was kind enough to buy some spicy chocolate for me to try for this very challenge. It was Tabasco flavored dark chocolate from this crazy-awesome store called The World Market. This place is seriously the Mecca of strange new things for me to try, well and that Mi Pueblo Marketplace where I scored that terrible mexican candy. So it was one of those "I love thing A, and I love thing B, but will I love thing AB?" scenarios and it's pretty hit or miss with those (I think I'm 1 for 3 with those). To my surprise though, I found that I had a real taste for spicy chocolate. I ended up eating the whole thing and feeling like a fatty it was so good. But it's definitely not for everyone. I tried handing out samples to co-workers, friends and family, but nobody would take a taste.

Day 208: Chocolate Chilies

     I had some time to kill before work today, so I made a stop at a store that I felt would surely lead me to new oddities to try; Whole Foods. I perused through the isles of Boulder-Bath soaps and eco-friendly tampons, on the hunt for my new thing. It was a weird experience just being in a store that was so, green. It wasn't bad, just weird. I eventually found myself checking out the candy section (cause some things just don't change) and found a bar of dark chocolate that had chunks of cherries and grounded up chili peppers in it. It was an intriguing combination, I could dig a chocolate and cherries bar, but I couldn't imagine how a chili pepper chocolate bar could be any good. I bought the exotic candy bar and was pleasantly surprised when I bit into it. The chocolate and chili pepper flavors were really bold, but it worked. I thought that the candy was going to taste like straight garbage but the flavors seemed to go together well. If your still skeptical about trying one of these babies, let me just say that I'm not really into chili peppers and I still liked it. I suggest that you go out and buy a bar to try. Who knows, maybe I just turned you onto your new favorite treat.
