Try This: Vivani's Bitter Chocolate with Chili

Life is full of surprises. When you think you have it all figured out, in a second something happens. Then you realize that you do not really have anything figured out and life gets a little brighter.
This weekend I came across Vivani's Ecuador Bitter Chocolate with Chili. This is truly an amazing and indulging product. The experience begins when you first notice the product. The packaging is exotic; it announces that this is an organic chocolate that was made with cocoa beans from Ecuador. This indulges your mind by inviting you to travel to an exotic destination by trying this product. The packaging is inviting you to connect with a distant and exotic place. If you choose to accept the invitation, the product does not fall short of any expectations. The chocolate is dark and bitter without being too violent to your mouth. The taste is natural, raw and has the perfect combination of bitterness with a bit of sugar that makes for the perfect dark chocolate.
It is when you think that you have this chocolate figured out that something happens. In a second, a mild trace of chili appears. It is strong enough to be noticed, but not strong enough to bother your senses or make you want to do any of those crazy things people do when eating spicy foods. This chocolate is truly remarkable. It takes you somewhere exotic and in an instant, it reminds you that life is full of surprises.

Sweet Gray Skies


Clouds of gray. The world sits still for a day. Everyone wonders when the sun will come back again. In days likes this, I enjoy drinking coffee and wearing sweatpants. It is cloudy and rainy and all I want is comfort.
I find my refuge from the gray world in coffee; some other people find it in chocolate. If you like comfort through chocolate, then you are going to love Cadbury's Burnt Almond Dark Chocolate. The flavor is rich and comforting. The sweet and bitter taste of dark chocolate is contrasted with the near neutral taste of almond. What results of this mix is both soothing and comforting. Perfect for a rainy day like today. So next time you find yourself trapped under gray skies, pick one of this sweet chocolates up.
We all seek comfort in different ways; some people find it in coffee and sweats and some others find it in chocolate. But ultimately, all we are hoping for is the next sunny day.
