Halloween Treats

The Date: Monday, October 25

The Delivery: Halloween Chocolate Bites from Sjaak's

Staff Pick: Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites

The DL: What's better than peanut butter and chocolate? Peanut butter and chocolate that arrives on a Monday, from our BFFs at Sjaak's. Oh, and look at that, it's in the form of adorable bite-sized Halloween treats, black and orange, with grinning Jack-O-Lanterns on the package. We'll take chocolate anytime, but no one can deny that All Hallows' is one of our favorite holidays.

Truffles! Lots of them!

The Date: Wednesday, September 22

The Delivery: Truffles and chocolates galore.
Staff Pick: Nicobella Organics chocolate-covered nut clusters.

The DL: Um, THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER. Just look at all those truffles! Sadly, we must wait tortuously until a few other brands arrive before conducting our definitive, extra-official, very serious truffle taste-test which will appear in the January+February 2011 issue. Fortunately, Nicobella Organics knows what's up, because they also sent us their new chocolate-covered nut clusters. We are dying to dig into the Dark Chocolate Maple Pecans, which feature a touch of sea salt, and "a touch of sea salt" is the best thing you can do to chocolate. (You heard it here first!) Pair that with Elizabeth's Quinoa Salmon Salad, and you have one amazing Wednesday of food.
