Hu Kitchen is an interesting place -- it's a restaurant, but they also make their own chocolate bars. The bars use coconut, and you can sort of tell, but the "Simple" 72% was still pretty good and chocolatey. The Almond Butter + Puffed Quinoa bar was less appealing -- too heavy on the almond.
But the surprising star was the Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding. I love pudding. Especially from Puddin'. But since going vegan, my options have been severely limited. My previous two attempts did not go so well. The vegan creme-freche or whatever it was they put on top was actually pretty good. What interfered were the candied walnuts. Look, I like candied walnuts. Throw them on a salad. Bam! More delicious salad. Because sugar. But I am eating chocolate pudding, not salad. Candied walnuts are not an upgrade from what I already have in my cup. They are in the way. So, when you order, I recommend asking them to hold the walnuts.
Bottom Line: Worthwhile in general, including for chocolate, and especially for the chia seed pudding.
