Endangered Species Chocolate Bar

May 2, 2011

The All-Natural, 72% Dark Chocolate with Cranberries and Almonds bar is oh-so good in oh-so many ways. First of all, the flavor is excellent. The chocolate is bold with soft earthy notes. These flavors blend perfectly with the chewy cranberry pieces and crunchy almond bits.

Endangered Species brand chocolates promotes awareness and conservation of at-risk species of animals. This particular variety (cranberries and almonds) is surrounded by a wrapper that, when you read the inside, increases your knowledge about the struggles of the Gray Wolf.

Chocolove Cherries & Almonds

January 10, 2011

I really like this 55% cocoa content dark chocolate with chewy, tart dried cherries and crunchy, roasted almonds. The chocolate complements the fruity and nutty notes from the cherries and almonds without overpowering them with sweetness or bitterness.

The flavor combination blends slowly at first, allowing you to gradually realize the rich and complex flavor profile.

Niederegger Chocolates, headquartered in Lübeck, Germany, makes some of the most delicious chocolate covered marzipan. I enjoy many brands of marzipan, but I am particularly fond of Niederegger.

Be careful! Some confectionery products that are sold as marzipan are made from soy paste and flavored with almond.
