The Patric Chocolate ‘The BOSS’ bar is a on the luscious, rich side of the sweet spectrum. With clumps of salt, cacao nibs, and caramel flavor, it embodies a full candy-like chocolaty flavor. Unlike the other chocolate bars in the Playful box, the BOSS tastes the most like a normal chocolate bar. The notes of…

The Michael Mischer Chocolates Toffee and Murray River Salt is a chocolate bar with, surprise, toffee and salt. The salt is clumped on the top of it and the toffee spread throughout the body of the chocolate. The consistency is soft and pliable. Succulent. As for the flavor of this bar, it is quite salty.…

So this Sirene Dark Milk Chocolate bar is actually a pack of two different bars.  One is sourced from Guatemala, the other Madagascar. The Madagascar one has a more fruity flavor profile, while the Guatemalan is smoother and ‘richer.’ I did not like the Guatemalan bar at all. It wasn’t the type of dislike that…

As one can see, the Askinosie Licorice Chocolate bar is topped with bits of anise and chunks of licorice. Hence the name. The licorice flavor does come through surprisngly well and also surprisingly was how well it worked with the chocolate. I was skeptical at first. I wondered how these two flavors could blend together…

The Patric Chocolate Browned Butter Bar is another Patric Chocolate bar, the other being the BOSS. Like the BOSS, the chocolate is on the creamy side. Not too hard, rather soft and pliable. This makes sense as the bar is mixed with, guess what, browned butter, sugar, and salt. These flavors do not come out…

When I think of ginger, I think of a potent, sharp flavor that can accent other flavors or be the center piece. It is versatile, which is why it is used in so many different things. Including chocolate, in the case of the Dick Taylor Ginger Snaps. Yet in the case of the Dick Taylor…

The Grenada Chocolate Company Nib-a-licious chocolate bar is 60% chocolate and dotted with “crispy cocoa nibs.” These nibs impart a purer cocoa flavor that dwarfs the chocolate they are embedded in. The body of the chocolate is not that strong, very forgettable, but that is not the main show of the bar. The nibs are,…

The Chocolate Garage is a San Francisco based company that, surprise surprise, sells chocolate. They do not make the chocolate they sell, rather they stock a variety of brands and sources. One of the things they sell is a chocolate tasting box that has a collection of around eight or nine different bars. They have…

The Askinosie Tanzania is a 72% Dark Cocao chocolate bar. As you can see in the above and below pictures, the bar is made up of little squares each with a letter on it, spelling out ‘askinosie chocolate.’ It is kind of cool looking and makes the bar distinguishable. Good that it does, because the…

Another chocolate bar from the The Chocolate Garage Purist Box, the Francois Pralus Tanzanie is a 75% pure bar. Although it has a high percentage, the Francois Pralus Tanzanie is rather bland. It has a fluffy, light texture, but little flavor. I have a hard time remembering anything about it because there is hardly anything…
