Dark Chocolate Extravaganza!

Shopping at Trader Joe’s recently, I came across a new flavor of their “Pound Plus” (17.6 oz) chocolate bars - the “Pound Plus Extravaganza” is comprised of dark chocolate, almonds, cranberries, and ginger! I was told this particular bar would only be around for the holidays so I purchased several and use it primarily when hiking, freezing the rest.  I wish it had less sugar but at 17g per serving (1.3oz) it is less than some bars and the combination of almonds and cranberries provides a bit of protein (2g per serving) which lowers my sugar guilt:) Makes a great energy boost for hiking; wish I'd had this on some of my mountain climbing expeditions.
