Equal Exchange Organic Dark Hot Chocolate Powder

Do you want a hot chocolate drink that has a super bitter, dark chocolate flavor? Look no further. This is the mix/powder for you. It’s really strong.

Askinosie Intelligentsia Dark Chocolate + Coffee

This is a sort of blast from the past review! Over five years ago did I last review an Askinosie product.

Soma Little Big Man

The Soma Little Big Man is peppered with little cocoa nibs. These crunchy bits of goodness add texture to the rich chocolaty base. It is both sweet and salty, but it has the typical dark chocolate bitterness that comes in towards the end. The combination and balance of these three types of flavors is excellent.…

Charm School Coconut Milk Chocolate

The Charm School Coconut Milk Chocolate met all my expectations. It had a coconut-y flavor. Not only coconut, but a general nuttyness, coming from the pecan topping. Although the pecans gave the bar a crunchy bite, it was overall very smooth. The consistency of a coconut milk chocolate was similar to a normal milk chocolate…
