It's Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa . . .time for Chocolate!

Before you grab a handful of those mint M&Ms, I've found some great chocolates to try this Holiday and wanted to share a few with you:

Divine Chocolates makes a tasty and very cool Fair Trade Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar.  This calendar features the Christmas Story as well as the story of some of the farmers that work with Divine.  I found one at my local co-op and jumped for joy.

On a non-advent, but still "it's fantastically good" note, Theo Chocolates creates a wicked spicy dark chocolate that is part of their Theo Classic Combination Bar series - it's called Dark Chocolate with Spicy Chile.  These aren't just any chiles - they are called guajillo chiles and have a nice warm spice that starts of subtly and finishes off with a bit of a snap.  (On a somewhat related note they made a nice truffle with these chiles back in February and also paired up with Cupcake Royale to make a special edition cupcake featuring this particular chile and their chocolate).
