Dagoba Organic Chocolate makes a whole line of quality chocolate bars. Among the different varieties that are available is the Xocolatl bar.
The Xocolatl bar is made of organic dark chocolate, Cacao Nibs and infused with chili powder, nutmeg oil, and citrus oil. I must admit, I was quite skeptical of this combination of chili powder and chocolate. I have heard of interesting combinations that chocolatiers have come up with before, but I have never tried them before.
For my first taste of this unique chocolate bar, I popped a small piece in my mouth for fear being overwhelmed by the chili powder. I wasn't too thrilled with this combination. But the more that I tasted it, the more I liked it. It, like most spicy things, is strangely addicting. Now, this is not the type of chocolate bar that you devour as you're watching a movie. I liked it best when eaten in little bitty pieces as a small afternoon pick-me-up or as a post-dinner treat.
When you take a bite of this chocolate, the first thing you taste is the smooth dark chocolate, its not until the chocolate is gone that the spice comes back to give you a swift kick in the taste buds. The spice lingers for a while, and packs a punch that makes you keep coming back for more!
If you're not a fan of dark chocolate, this is not the chocolate bar for you. As with some dark chocolate, it is not very sweet like a milk chocolate bar (this is because the cacao percentage is high.) But lucky for you Dagoba does sell a Milk Bar
as well.
I look forward to trying the other flavor combinations, as well as, the chocolate drink mixes, and baking products that Dagoba Organic Chocolate has to offer!

I recently tried a dark chocolate bar that had some kick to it - I think it was aleppo pepper, though - and actually really loved it. I actually ate it, chopped up in an ice cream cone with some marshmallows as a pseudo/unconventional s'mores dessert...the marshmallow really mellowed it out and it was amazing!
ReplyDeleteJess--
ReplyDeleteThat does sound really good! I checked out your blog and I love it--I am now a proud follower (I'm following on FB too!) I, as well, dream of owning my own bakery or cafe of some sort someday, that would be so awesome to have lots of people enjoying the food that I have made. You should check out our sister blog: Off The Menu (link to it is on the right sidebar), I think that you might enjoy it. Best of luck to you, I hope to visit your bakery someday!
I love interesting chocolate! (Who am I kidding? I love all chocolate!)
ReplyDeleteYou get used to all the variety after a while. We've reviewed Dagoba before but not this particular bar.
ReplyDeleteI adore chili and chocolate. It's something I discovered about 8 years ago and fell in love with. This bar sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteDagobah's Xocolatl is my all time favorite Dagobah chocolate bar.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I still haven't made up my mind if I like chilli chocolate or not! Gotta keep tasting it I guess! Am following you on Google, visit my blog when you have time, our monthly theme in Feb is CHOCOLATE! www.LinsFood.com
