I was in Trader Joe’s the other day and at the register were baskets of their Fireworks Chocolate Bars. I had heard about these from their radio commercial and picked one up to have as our sweet with our Ploughman’s Lunch (check back tomorrow). A dark chocolate bar with chipotle spice, it’s a modern spin on the 80’s pop-rocks. After the chocolate has nestled nicely on your palate, the subtle popping ensues. These would be kind of fun on a s’more or as party favors for a July 4th party. And, it was perfect with a glass of red.
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
