Yes, I am hungry at the moment, why do you ask? From Ritual Chocolate's new-ish Mountain line, the Juniper Lavender 70% bar. "Inspired by the mountains and growers of Utah, this bar is a blend of lavender grown by Lavender Hill Farms in Eden, Utah and dried juniper berries. Both ingredients are finely ground into Ritual's Mid Mountain Blend giving a floral, aromatic finish that lingers on the tongue and conjures up the scent of a high mountain meadow." About $10, and do comment if you've tried one.

Ah, a little something for snack time. Aftelier's new Ginger Rose chocolate bar in collaboration with Areté Fine Chocolate. "We collaborated with renowned artisan perfumer Mandy Aftel to create this special bar. A divine marriage of our Belize Maya Mountain Chocolate and her 100% natural Turkish Rose and Indonesian Ginger Chef’s Essences. We spent almost four months working together to get the balance just right, and if you’re a fan of ginger we think you’ll agree that this bar is as close to perfection as you could hope to get." $15 at Aftelier.
