by Leave a Comment

The Hunger Games Caching Fire District Chocolates are fun and delicious. I received four different flavors and I don’t even have to blog about them. But I’m going to for two reasons, One I love chocolate and two I LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES!!!

The flavors:

Beef Jerky & Smoked Mesquite and Milk Chocolate

Crispy Crunchy Caramel Corn and Dark Chocolate

Sea Salt & Coconut and Dark Chocolate

Mined Salt and Milk Chocolate

ABOUT THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE

THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE begins as Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence) has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (played by Josh Hutcherson).  Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor’s Tour" of the districts.  Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.  THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE is directed by Francis Lawrence, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the second in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins that has sold over 50 million copies in print in the U.S. alone.

Wild Ophelia Chocolate: Connecting American Farmers with Chocolate Taste Testing

by Leave a Comment

I’m a Wild Ophelia Chocolate Ambassador and receive samples.

I’ve tried the Peanut Butter Banana

 

this is a great tasting chocolate bar, the peanut butter mixes quite well with the bananas in the bar

I’ve tried the New Orleans Chili

this is another great flavor, the chili is slow to come out in your taste buds but it does emerge as your already enjoying the dark chocolate bar

I’ve tried the Southern Hibiscus Peach

 

this is not my favorite flavor, I do like the taste of the chocolate and the peach, but the hibiscus didn’t do it for me

I’ve tried the Beef Jerky

 

my favorite flavor by far is the Wild Ophelia Beef Jerky chocolate. YUM

About Wild Ophelia:

Wild Ophelia is a uniquely American brand featuring all-natural and often organic ingredients sourced from small farms and food artisans. Their chocolate bars tell an American story, and bridge the divide between the local, American farmer’s movement and chocolate. Flavor combinations, such as BBQ Potato Chips, Beef Jerky and Peanut Butter Banana are unexpected, yet approachable. I’m willing to try every flavor and I can’t wait to get my hands on a BBQ Potato Chips bar. I’m going to head on over to Walgreens to see if I can find it because I’m too impatient to wait for them to send it to me.

Wild Ophelia is the latest creation from Katrina Markoff, founder of Vosges Haut-Chocolat and recognized "chocolate revolutionary". Markoff is widely credited with igniting the chocolate industry with innovation by fusing high-quality chocolate and exotic ingredients (such as curry and bacon) in avant-garde ways. She launched Wild Ophelia to bring unconventional chocolate creations mainstream and Americanize the local chocolate aisle. Curry, now that’s another flavor I’m looking forward to trying.

On the back of each chocolate bar, you’ll find the story and origin of each ingredient. All Wild Ophelia products are made with 100% renewable energy and packaged in 100% recycled board.
