What holiday is not complete without Chocolate... and loads of it! You can expect to get at least one box of chocolates from a client or friend, and since I am kind of a chocolate snob, I stumbled upon the absolute best chocolate I have ever had the pleasure of tasting... and lets face it I have tasted more than I am comfortable mentioning.
My husband and I were on a date and popped into Artale for some wine and I noticed a little mini temperature controlled box with a tantalizing photo on it like this one
Of course, trying one of these treats was an absolute must and disappoint it did not. Living up to the mouth watering photos, this treat was like no other. As I researched a bit I found that these chocolates are actually made right in my home town of Rockford, IL and cacaocuvee was chosen as one of Oprah's Favorite Things for 2012. Besides the fact they use 100% natural and organic ingredients, their flavor combinations like apple cider and sake are just a sampling of their brilliance.
My purchase was something called a galapagos and I though I will just have a bite and leave it in the car while we eat dinner. After tasting this utterly divine goodness, I could not get it out of my head and literally sent my husband back out to the car to retrieve my new found addiction. It was the combination of unique nuts and a homemade carmel so different than anything I had ever experienced. Topped with dark chocolate and introducing bliss!
So if your not ready to try cacaocuvee yet there is one more incentive... Oprah sent her team on a mission,
"I challenged O's creative director, Adam Glassman, to find me a bite-size, 100-calorie
piece of dark chocolate made with 67 percent cocoa, and he did it, with 10 calories to spare! It's a gift for every day of the week."
This is what they found
cacaocuvee invented the ultimate superfood, a 7 day supply of antioxidant filled chocolate bites with only 89 calories, preservative and gluten free and just enough sweet to curb your sugar cravings and strengthen your cardiovascular system. You can order a 30 day supply with a special "O" discount or order some of their other delectables as gifts this year.
