Chocolate Cravings

It must be that time of the month as I’m craving chocolate! It all started when my coworker came back from Ottawa with mini chocolate bars for our team…

That is, Leonidas’ Mini Bars – White Chocolate with Fruit, 4 to choose from. They’re tiny – about 2.5” long by 1” wide and each bar is scored into little mini bits to break off and spare throughout the day! But that equals one bite for most people.

But being the nerd that I am, I (of course) kept the wrap as I loved the modern type, fresh look and festival-like graphics. I guess you could say it was a full fledge experience – I loved every part of it from the wrap to the chocolatey goodness inside.
