Baton aoleite translates from the Portuguese as milk chocolate stick which is an apt description of this product from Brazil. It is a solid piece of milk chocolate, very dense and hard in texture.
A decent tasting milk chocolate not exceptional

Alex picked up these amaranth flavored chocolate cookies in Brazil and we gave them a try.
Alex described them as oreo-like without the filling, I liked the pleasant chocolate flavor

Found on açaí palm trees in South American rainforests, açaí berries are a lot like grapes. The seed takes up about 80% of the berry, but the flesh and skin pack plenty of vitamins and other nutrients in the remaining 20%. It has become popular as a “superfood” in recent years. Alex tried some Açaí ice cream when in Brazil.
