I’m eating a bar right now. I think its excellent for an 85%. I’ve tried a lot of different chocolate over the years (dark) and while this isn’t the best, its really good for a high percentage cocoa. My favorite snacking bar is probably Chocolove 77% bar.

I absolutely LOVE this chocolate and I eat four squares everynight after dinner. I can’t get enough of it. It’s so tasty and I love the texture as well.
I hope that it won’t be discontinued: it would be really bad news…

I just picked up a bar two days ago in the NYC Union Square TJoes. It does have a marshmallowey taste. I also pick up a little maraschino cherry. Very tasty.

One of the greats imho, I think I prefer it to valrhona that Tj’s also carries. Smooth fruity and not overly bitter.

This could be my favorite chocolate ever! Has a very tangy, fruity flavor, and also does melt like butter! And very low sugar! And the price is just amazaing: $1.5 for 3.5 ounces! just an amazing bar! But the title is apt: my Mom, who hates dark chocolate, tried it and said it tastes like soap! -f

This chocolate bar is not for everyone–it is true that the flavor is not as strong as some bars, but I would argue that this is because other chocolate bars counter a strong bitterness with a strong sweetness. The cocoa that went into this bar must not have been so bitter- as the packaging suggests, its just smooth and fruity. A remarkable feat for such a high percentage, to use such little sugar and achieve a bar which is not overwhelmingly bitter.
The bar also does not leave that bitter taste in your mouth that even lower percentages often do.
I would not recommend this bar to someone who does not seek out very dark chocolate, but I also do not think it is prohibitive to someone like me who enjoys milk chocolate and even white chocolate, too :)

Where can I purchase the 85% chocolate lovers bar in Oklahoma?

I think the chocolate tastes wonderful & I like that it has fiber in it. I’m happy to say my husband didn’t like it, so I don’t have to share it with him.

Yech. This chocolate bar was horrid. I can understand why they’d be taking it out of rotation, if that was the case. However, I just bought and consumed one of these last week so I don’t think they’re discontinuing it. Shame, really. I love dark chocolate; I am a dark chocolate lover. And this bar was *maybe* the only chocolate bar I’ve ever stopped eating half way through and thrown away. I agree with the review inasmuch as the bar I had wasn’t sweet or bitter. In fact, it was near flavorless. The experience of chewing it was like eating the tile flooring out of a doll house.

Nice Post. I see them featuring this in their latest circular, so maybe it will appear back in stock to the people who can’t find it. I eagerly await trying it out for myself since it’s a great price for what sounds like an interesting bar.
