Tcho Bites Toffee & Sea Salt Chocolate Discs
December 9, 2018
It’s my personal mission to bring chocolate just about everywhere I go. Doesn’t matter if it’s a casual visit or a formal evening, chocolate is a welcomed gift. If it’s shared right away, I have the pleasure of discussing flavor and texture with the recipient(s) as well as learning what they think about it.
In a recent trip over to a friend’s house, I took a bag of Tcho Bites - Toffee and Sea Salt chocolate snacks. They are round bite-sized wafers of toffee coated in organic 53% cacao “dark milk” chocolate.

Ambition Bar: Cold Brew Chocolate
November 6, 2017
Pamela’s Products makes the Ambition Bar as part of their line-up of gluten-free snack bars. In addition to the Cold Brew Chocolate bar that I’m tasting today, they make Salted Caramel Latte, Espresso Myself, Masala Chai, and Matcha Happiness. I sense a theme! And, yes, they all have caffeine - 70 milligrams in each.
Dark Chocolate Banana Chips

Want to put yourself into a better mood? I think by now most of us have heard that chocolate is a great mood enhancer. For years, it’s been known that chocolate does more than just taste good, it can actually do the body good.
Cocoa boosts serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for maintaining a balanced mood and feeling of well-being. It stimulates the happy-making parts of your brain!
Equal Exchange Extreme Dark Chocolate
October 17, 2016
A couple days ago I found myself grabbing a chocolate to eat not realizing it was going to upset a status quo I’ve had for many years.
This chocolate came to me by way of a wedding anniversary present, and it was new to me. The chocolate, at 88% cacao, is a rare find because it’s such a high percentage. For some people, you might as well call it baking chocolate! No doubt my friend, Kathy, would make a scrunchy face if she had even a lick of this bar.
Green & Black’s 85% Dark Chocolate
August 22, 2016
The story goes that in 1991, the founder of Whole Earth, Craig Sams, was eating a 70% dark chocolate bar sent to him as a sample. This bar was made from organic cocoa beans.
He only ate half of the chocolate and left the rest sit on his desk. A short time later, his wife, Jo, saw the chocolate bar and helped herself. She loved it, and thus began the making of their organic chocolates.
PASCHA Organic Dark Chocolate (Allergen Free!)
February 22, 2016
“70% Cacao Passionately Pure Pascha Organic Dark Chocolate. Free from Peanuts, Nuts, Dairy, Soy, Eggs, Wheat and Gluten”. I almost pinched myself after reading that on the label. Is this real?
My daughter has a number of food allergies (nuts, peanuts, and eggs) and I’m sad to say, she has never been able to taste all the delicious chocolates I review for Chocolate University Online. Until now!
