Chukar - The Cherry Bomb!

All giddy when we received this gift ("PASALUBONG") from a visiting friend from KENT, WA. It's a reacquaintance of sorts after love at first bite more than 2 years ago, when we first feasted our palette on  CHUKAR CHERRIES at Seattle's world-famous Pike Place Market.

Mind you, these are NOT the "over the hill" Valentine's Day staple of syrupy sweet chocolate cherry-filled candies; or worse, raisins covered in compound (read: INFERIOR) chocolate mass produced by your leading candy maker.

Think REAL CHERRIES romantically embraced in anything and everything chocolate with twist and turns beyond one's flavor imagination - Chipotle Cherries, Cabernet Cherries, Pinot Noir Cherries, White Chocolate Raspberry Truffles, the list goes on and on...

A family-owned company founded in 1988 in Yakima Valley of Washington State, Chukar celebrates the natural bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Best of Nature, Best of Chocolate -- Truly THE CHERRY ON TOP!!!
