Another week, another brand of chocolate to try!
NibMore, short for "Nibble More", is a dark chocolate maker. They only make dark chocolate, ranging from 72%-80% cacao. Obviously no white chocolate, but also no milk chocolate. No truffles. Just dark chocolate bars, available in standard size bars, or small "Daily Dose of Dark" sized (ok, they also make drinking chocolate, but that really is it). The full size bars come in a few different varieties, with cacao nibs, almonds, or even brown rice bits inside. Drinking chocolate comes in traditional, 6 spice, or minty. But I didn't have any of this, I only had the "Daily Dose" bars, available in three varieties, and I tried all of them.
As someone who adores her gummy vitamins, you know, vitamins, totally not "morning candy", these are right in line with my philosophy. Of course I'll be a responsible adult and have my chocolate dose and vitamins!
"Our Daily Dose of Dark with cacao nibs and a hint of mint."
I thought the mint would be my absolute favorite, as I love mint and chocolate together. And ... it almost was.
The first bite was fantastic. Minty, crunchy nibs, smooth chocolate. But, the aftertaste shocked me. It tasted ... fake.
I tried these several times, hoping I just wasn't in the mood one day, but, alas, it seems that there is just something about the mint flavoring that doesn't appeal to me.
Next, I upped the ante to 80% cacao.
I adore these. The dark chocolate itself has a depth of flavor, a balanced bitterness with hint of sweetness. The chocolate is very smooth, but, it also has little crunchy nibs in it for texture.
I could eat a case of these at a time, it is a good thing they are portion controlled as a "daily dose".

"This perfect amount of chocolate is delicious, healthy, and ethical."The marketing on these is cute. Feel good about eating your daily chocolate! It is your "dose", your medicine! Plus, it is organic, gluten-free, vegan, fair trade, non-GMO, yadda yadda. No reason to feel bad! Eat chocolate!
