Um, run away.  Far, far away.  This is a very hard and bitter chocolate....even gritty.  I know that the higher the cocoa count, the more bitter the chocolate gets and I'm okay with that.  It is the texture that really was a turn off for me.  Once I could actually break a small piece off once I started chewing it it just crumbled in my mouth.  I'll probably melt the remainder of the  bar to cook with and I won't be purchasing this again.

This is a good dark chocolate and it is very affordable.  It is bitter but doesn't crumble into pieces when you chew it like the above reviewed chocolate.  It does melt in one's mouth but not as quickly nor as creamy as the next chocolate I review.  If you are tight on funds and want a good high cocoa chocolate, this is a good choice and readily available.  This is my "go to" bar for typical days I want some chocolate.  I found my bar at Target in the chocolate isle in the food dept.

This chocolate is by far the best I've tried.  To me, it is the Cadillac (oh, wait, maybe I should say Prius) of chocolates.  It melts beautifully in your mouth and coats it. The lower cocoa count and higher sugar count definitely satisfy any sweet tooth and I daresay any chocolate lover.  The cost of this chocolate can be prohibitive as well as its availability.  I have found it at my local co-op and it was on sale 2 for $5.  I have also seen it at Whole Foods and Food Lion.   I save this bar for my "emotional" days be it a celebratory day or a day I could do some pretty destructive stuff.
