GHIRARDELLI Intense Dark Chocolate Bar, 72% Cacao, 3.5 Oz Bar

Being originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I grew up with Ghirardelli chocolate. One of the memorable field trips in school days included a visit to the factory. Sweet!I'm also a fan of dark chocolate. This particular style took me a little getting used to as it has that slight bitterness that getting close to chocolate's origins can have. At first I thought that it wasn't sweet enough to balance out the taste profile, but I just had to give it time. It's dark chocolate with intention - you shouldn't rush through experiencing it.Right now the package is on my desk so that I can break off a piece or two when I need a boost of flavor.

The flavor is heavenly and I love that it (and the 86% cacao version) have among the lowest lead and cadmium levels than most national brands. It’s gives that deep cocoa flavor you want from cocoa. I love the 72% cacao as a snack on its own, too.

The natural cocoa flavor that really packs a punch to the taste buds, is only made that much more smooth by the quality melt-ability of this chocolate. The flavor is second to no other brand I've found so far that creates a natural chocolate feel and taste.

I used this for snacking as it is better (less sugar) than it's milk chocolate siblings..

doesn't taste "chemically" like some others. great stuff

Best 72% dark choc squares

I'm obsessed with this. I like to eat a square or two when I have a sweet tooth. Dark chocolate lovers will love it. great extra gift for Mom! very satisfying.

I love these easy to use Ghirardelli single use dark chocolate pieces. Reaping the benefits of dark chocolate in the single use pack allows me to have one dark chocolate a day versus opening a whole candy bar and not eating the whole thing.
