Fireworks Chocolate




Every now and then we discover products we love. When we do, we like to share our discovery with you, our friends. This is one such discovery that excites us enough to share. It's the month of July and Jenn is shopping in Traders Joe's when she overhears an employee mention to a customer, that "this chocolate is really good and only seasonal." If you have never been to a Trader Joe's,  it's a favorite grocery store that we frequent. Why? Because the products are so good, tasty and very affordable. This store has been around since the 1950's and we love it because they buy directly from suppliers and pass the savings on to us. They can do this, because they cut out the middle man, which we as consumers really appreciate.  So after hearing the spiel on the fireworks chocolate, Jenn strolls on over and takes a look. She picks up one of the chocolate bars mentioned, and begins to read the label. It reads, "Rich dark chocolate with a touch of heat and a popping sensation that will ignite your senses." Oh yeah! Just up our alley: 1.) touch of heat 2.) dark chocolate 3.) popping sensation - sounds fun! ... SOLD!!!! So as usual, she goes overboard and buys at least six bars. She cannot wait to get home and try one.  Meanwhile in the car, on the drive home in the 100 degree weather, she hears a weird noise. She turns down the radio and begins to hear little intermittent popping sounds. POP! POP! POP! She realizes it's the fireworks chocolate bars; they are talking to her - snap, crackle, pop! The heat must be getting to them. We know exactly how they feel, because we too are sizzling in this Texas heat. She arrives at home and hubby comes out to unload the groceries. She tells him of her fantastic discovery and he says, "let's try it."  She breaks open a bar and they each take a bite... as soon as Jenn decides she loves it, she runs upstairs to record this video. We hope you enjoy it and are able to try some "Fireworks Chocolate" of your own. It's super fun! Try it! Oh, and by the way, it's delicious dipped in peanut butter. OH SUGAR!!!
