One nibble of this dark chocolate silvery squirrel’s bushy tail and you’ll want to take a page from his book, stashing it away for the winter. There are no nuts (except for the pretend one the little fella is clutching), no toffee pieces, no sea salt, no cacao nibs. It’s just super high-quality dark chocolate in a shape that’s almost too cute to eat. Allow bites to dissolve on your tongue and you’ll taste all the fruity, nutty and roasted notes of the chocolate itself – its soul (alma in Spanish) if you will. Oh, we will! The squirrel, like his maker, hails from Portland, Oregon where both woodland creatures and chocolate have it good. With each chocolate squirrel purchase, you help to support the future of America’s treasured National Parks. Chocolate lovers and nature lovers unite. TIP OF THE TONGUE Better buy three: one for now, one to hide for later, one to include with a fall wedding or birthday present. And even though the chocolate is outrageously delicious on its own, we wouldn’t deny you or Mr. Squirrel of some nut love. Try dunking his head in a jar of Creamunchy Peanut Butter. Ok, better make that four.
