Chocolate and Vegan Goodies

The Date: Tuesday, September 6
The Delivery: Chocolate bars and bark from Tumbador Chocolate, chocolate bark and a smoky corn chocolate bar from Lagusta's Luscious, and vegan cheese steaks and whoopie pies from Café Indigo
Staff Pick: The whoopie pies!

The DL: We are back from a wonderful holiday weekend filled with sunshine, grilled sweet corn, and the Vaute Couture Pop-Up Show, and we must say, a haul like this is a good way to be welcomed back. One look at these whoopie pies and we were hooked—all we need now is a glass of almond milk to go with them. And maybe some chocolate bark, too. Today marks the second to last day to order a subscription to VegNews in time to get the November+December issue: Order today and get it delivered to your door just in time for holiday fun!

Chocolate Bars and a Book

The Date: Thursday, February 10

The Delivery: The Exultant Ark by Jonathan Balcombe and chocolate bars from Eli's Earth Bars in caramel, peanuts, and peanut butter; coconut and almonds; and peanut butter crunch with caramel

Staff Pick: The caramel, peanuts, and peanut butter chocolate bar

The DL: Adding these bars to the growing pile of chocolaty goodness we've received (chocolate sauce, chocolate cake, chocolate peanut butter cups...), we have to ask ourselves one question: Do we feel lucky? Abso-friggin'-lutely! While we may not be quite lucky enough to be visiting the Taj Mahal or checking out animals at Keoladeo National Park like the folks on VN's Great Adventure to India 2011, at least we can peruse their pictures while trying out these caramel, chocolate, and peanut butter concoctions.
