Diamond Salted Dark Chocolate Walnuts
Dark chocolate is a superfood. Walnuts are a superfood. So combining them would be super-duper, right? You bet’cha. These snacky bits are so super, in fact, I figured they’d come with a cape. Luckily though, no cape. Edna Mode would … Continue reading

Lindt Lindor Dark Chocolate Truffles
Dark chocolate is awesome. We all know this. It’s decadent. It’s bittersweet. It’s good for your heart. It may even prevent some forms of cancer! But when chocolate touts itself as dark but isn’t? It’s not just a sad trombone for … Continue reading

Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Marzipan
I have a love/hate relationship with almond candies. I adore candies with the whole (or chopped) nut added in. Candied almonds are also quite yummy. But then there’s marzipan. Perhaps it’s because I was raised on the quality stuff straight … Continue reading

Moser Roth Privat Chocolatiers’ Dark Chili Chocolate Bar
Looking for something a bit different for this year’s Winter Chocolate Binge this month? How about something a bit…spicy? No, not that kind of spicy, I’m gonna keep it clean in this review y’all. This chocolate brand, made “exclusively for” Aldi, … Continue reading

Butterfinger Dark
I love dark chocolate. It’s something everyone knows, because I don’t mind saying so. But I think I’ve found something that has me thinking that perhaps dark chocolate has its limits. Because with Butterfinger Dark, these two great tastes don’t … Continue reading

Alas Poor Ginger, Wherefore Art Thou: Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Covered Ginger
I’m very fond of crystallized ginger, and accordingly I am substantially less fond of the Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Covered Ginger, whose ginger to “rich dark chocolate” ratio is weighted in chocolate’s favor to the point that the ginger is … Continue reading

Mast Sea Salt Chocolate
Lately, sea salt is in everything I adore. Caramels, brittle, toffee, peanut butter cups. And, of course, chocolate bars. When I was given a bar of Mast, I figured it’d be the same ol’ same ol; a chocolate bar that … Continue reading

Lindt Excellence Roasted Hazelnut Dark
Dark chocolate! How lovely. Breakfast of champions, some may say. Well, I say that all the time, so I think that counts. Toss in some “heart-healthy” hazelnuts, and I’ll live forever, right? Don’t answer that. But in my quest to … Continue reading

Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company’s No 3 – Dark Strawberry Champagne Truffle Bar
Champagne and chocolate is definitely a treat. Add some strawberries, and I’m in heaven. (Please don’t add chocolate to those strawberries though; inevitably both end up soggy.) So a bar that combines three of my favorite things should be a … Continue reading

Alter Eco Dark Blackout 85% Cocoa Chocolate Bar
“I’m sending you some chocolate.” – has there ever been a more wonderful message? “It’s 85% cocoa.” – maybe not so much? I don’t like dark chocolate over 75%. That’s what I’d tell people. All of the chocolate I’d had over … Continue reading
