Chocolate Bars

The chocolate bars I list here are eaten out of pleasure.  Yes, some carry healthy benefits while others do not.  I’m not noting all the characteristics of each bar.  Only what I receive in flavor.  Some are Non- GMO while others well, are full fledged unhealthy.  But all are dark chocolate! I do list by my own ranking.

Endangered Species 72% Dark (West Africa) – on a regular basis, I have my go to chocolate bar.  In the evening, I like to nibble on this.  It’s not sweet, but flavorful, not bitter, but smooth.

Green and Black’s Organic Dark 70% (Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Indonesia, the Dominican Republic, India and Brazil) – this is slightly sweeter than the Endangered Species and the break off squares are nice and thick.  One square usually satisfies. Rich tasting.

Lily’s Dark Chocolate with Stevia Original – I really wasn’t sure how I was going to like this one.  The Stevia was making me think it was going to have a weird aftertaste.  But it doesn’t!  I liked the flavor so much that I have used the baking chips for cookies and they come out great!

Teuscher Dark 77% (Switzerland) – Can’t find this in Arizona.  I can either order or wait until I fly to New York and take a trip to their fabulous store at Rockefeller center.  This chocolate hits all the notes.

Perugina Bitterswseet Chocolate 70% (Italy) –  This taste like chocolate cake. More sugar in it but one square does you good. Perugina makes Baci, another chocolate treat.  One that I find too sweet, so when I came across this I had reservation and yet it’s fantastic!

Nibble Organic Dark 72% (Peru) –  Two ingredients only. If you are not into bitter, this isn’t for you. But I found its deep chocolate taste yummy.  It’s not a chocolate bar you can easily find.  I found it in Old Town San Diego at a coffee bar.  It is pricy, but the break squares are chunky.

Stonegrindz Chocolate Cinnamon Cayenne 66% (unknown) –  This chocolate company is based out of Scottsdale, AZ. I found them at a Chocolate Fair.  I’m not much into these added flavored chocolates such as this, but this one changed my mind.  I couldn’t find where they source their chocolate, but appreciate their otherwise informative website.
