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.
I tried their Fakin' Bacon chocolate bar once. It's a 66% bar with non-meat fake bacon bits in it. It had no redeeming values whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteDang. I've seen that, and I'd been avoiding it. Good to know. I wanna try their mint.
