I have closely and watched the rise of J&D's Foods in Seattle for some years and am full of hope (Dude Hope!).

Peruse the aisles of the package goods store, and marvel at the plethora of potent potables now infused with everything from apples to hot cinnamon to bacon. You name it, you can probably find it. Same for potato chips. Some of the flavors now offered for sale don't even sound palatable. (But I will confess to a certain affection for the crab chips...) <br /><br />But chocolate infused with chili? I dunno about that... I think I'll stick with coconut.
