Rescue Chocolate "Fosteriffic Peppermint" 66%

We have already reviewed Rescue Chocolate -- positively.  We noted it was made by Tumbador, which we like.  So one might make the naive assumption that the peppermint-flavored Rescue Chocolate would remind one of the Tumbador version.



And you know what?  Sometimes naive assumptions are accurate.  I didn't do a side-by-side comparison, but this definitely reminded me of Tumbador's delicious peppermint bar.


Bottom Line: Tumbador.  Which is a good thing.

Rescue Chocolate "Forever Mocha" 66% and "The Fix" 66%

Another couple stops at Treehaus, and another couple bars of chocolate.  


I had seen Rescue Chocolate offered before, and I was not interested.  My chocolate does not need a cause -- Chocolate is the cause.  Plus, if they can afford to donate proceeds anywhere, then they are probably skimping on quality to raise more money.  

So I ignored rescue chocolate until I tried one of their free samples.  Honestly, I was blown away.  It was the "Forever Mocha," and I don't even like mocha.  It was amazing.  


I later went back and got the more straight up version -- "The Fix."  It was also excellent, but not as good as the Forever Mocha, for some reason.  It was a little fruity, I think, which the mocha flavor helped cover.


In any case, Rescue Chocolate has made a believer out of me.  It was only later that I discovered the chocolate is made by Tumbador, with whom I have had a good experience before.

Bottom Line: If a mocha-flavored chocolate bar sounds up your alley, then I can't imagine a better bar for you than the Forever Mocha.  I have certainly never had one.  If that's not your style, the regular dark chocolate is still a great option.
