DuPont and The Latest in Springtime Chocolate

 

Hi, there.

Today, I'm combining Sundays in my City with The Latest in Chocolate. It's all about the holidays we're approaching, Easter and Passover. And it's thanks to UnknownMami, hostess extraordinaire of the blogoverse's picture-perfect worldwide tour HERE.

Welcome to Chico, CA.

Du Pont is ready for Easter, sporting a pretty lei, and a boy-girl duo of bunnies or teddy bears (?).

 

Next, I sampled dark and milk chocolate covered Peeps. YUM! The inside's a fun, bright yellow that hasn't yet killed me. I prefer milk chocolate, so I like this one slightly better than the dark chocolate covered bright yellow marshmallow Peeps, but it's all great and highly recommended (by me, not nutritionists). 

I give this delightful treat at 9.

Lastly, Passover begins Monday night.

The coconut macaroon is a traditional Passover cookie. It's found in all sorts of flavors, including chocolate, chocolate chip, and -this one- red velvet. I was so intrigued, I had to try it. Plus, I actually don't like chocolate macaroons. While Red Velvet Macaroons contain cocoa, they didn't work for me either. The flavors didn't mix right. I give them a 5, and I recommend you get homemade macaroons from a cafe or bakery. Chocolate dipped macaroons are divine. You can otherwise find macaroons at Safeway or most major supermarkets.

Not only do we eat well on Passover, the holiday is rich in meaningful ritual. Passover serves to remind the Jewish people to appreciate our many freedoms and, ultimately, renew our commitment to bring peace on earth. It's a universal goal and one we can all appreciate. So whatever your faith, may you experience gratitude at this time and always. We've countless freedoms to celebrate.

Thank you for stopping by.
Have a great week.
Happy Spring, Passover and almost-Easter.
