Some comments:

Minty! Crunchy. Chocolatey. (duh.) Like a visit to a windswept Scottish moor. — Frank

This should replace thin mints. It’s got a slightly crunchy texture. Kinda fun. — Damien

Candy-like, enjoyable as a frivolous pleasure, yet relatively unsophisticated as a true chocolate. — Anon

Equal Exchange Organic Dark Chocolate with Pure Coca Nibs

Taste: 3.59
Texture: 3.59

Fascinating and surprising fruity flava with excellent finish, the best!! — Luke

Like a Russian ballet. — Frank

A smoothy, velvety body with rich mocha notes and a caffeinated kick. — Anon

Taste: 3.03
Texture: 3.34
Aftertaste: 2.98

Some comments:

Licorice, herbal notes. Crowd-pleasing. — Wendy

Peanutty and odd. Like a walk through Jimmy Carter’s peanut farm being ruined by a lecture from chocolatey Dick Cheney. — Frank

Choco four: Equal Exchange Organic Very Dark Chocolate

Taste: 3.71
Texture: 3.84
Aftertaste: 3.43

Some comments:

Good mouth feel. Somewhat one-dimentional flavor, although it’s a good dimention. — Suzanne

Very dark. Like a cup of coffee on a moonless night. — Frank

Simple, mellow, assertive dark chocolate. Great texture. Love it. — Jacob

Choco five: Equal Exchange Organic Chocolate Espresso Bean

Taste: 4.11
Texture: 4.01
Aftertaste: 3.46

Some comments:
Like a ride on the express bullet train to Shanghai. — Frank

Really good. Love the coffee bits. Judgement may be impaired by alcohol. — Wendy

Great balance of creamy taste, crunchy espresso, and healthy antioxidants. — Anon

Yes, Hannah and I ARE wearing clothes in the above pic. No, I am not always that shiny.

Where to get the yummies — Sadly, it’s tough to get chocos shipped during the summer due to their tendency to melt. However, you can try your local co-op or health food store — many Whole Foods carry both Equal Exchange and Sweet Earth products :)
