Sjaak's Organic Chocolate

I've tried a number of the Sjaak's Organic Chocolate bars now...and I have a few more at home waiting for a chocolate craving to strike.  So let's see, I think I've tried the chocolate/almond kind, the chocolate/carmel kind, the chocolate/mint kind, and the 70% extra dark chocolate.  I thought the 70% dark was the richest and creamiest.  I think of all those kinds, it was my favorite.  The chocolate/mint is like the bar form of a Junior Mint.  The chocolate/almond was another good one, but I think I'd probably pass on the chocolate/caramel one in the future.

 I REALLY want to try the bar with almonds, or just the plain dark chocolate one. I sampled the espresso bar and ... I'm not excited to polish it off WHICH says a lot for me and my relationship with chocolate. 

I totally love that it is organic and fair trade - but Sjaak's may have missed the mark with their espresso conquest.

First off - it was a tad sweet for my chocolate tooth, but I can get over that if everything else pulls through. Unfortunately, the main problem I had was with the espresso part. The other espresso chocolate experiences I have had included whole espresso beans within the bar. I remain undecided as to whether I like that or not. I was kind of excited for the possibility that this may not be the case here - however, the execution fell short. Instead of an ideal, truffle-like texture it was more of an espresso gel which I do not enjoy. It was just a little too weird for me. This may be the source of the extra sweetness, as well. Not quite sure.

In any case, I would like to try a plain and simple dark chocolate bar or the one with almonds as I am a HUGE fan of the nut. I will update my review when that happy day arrives...

I went to the Taste of Green party and I tried the Sjaak's Organic Chocolate. I loved it.

I was pleasently surprised but the subtle taste of this dark chocolate delicious bar of goodness - especially since it is 70% dark.  It was hardly bitter and definitely didn't leave any weird aftertaste.

Would this be my chocolate bar of choice?  Let's be honest, I'm not picky at all when it comes to my sweet tooth.  I wouldn't put this in my top ten, but as far as organic, veagan treats go, this would be my number one.
