JUDGES' FAVORITES
- The Codinha Fruit and Nut bar and the Rayluca Chocolate Glazed Orange were my favorites. In both, the fruit flavors compensated for the lower sweetness.
- Love the two Chocopunto dark chocolates by Grupo Cima Dorada (78% and 85%). The cacao flavor notes shine through beautifully. The 78% tastes like a fine red wine.
- Good chocolate almond salted
- the Dusso date praline was phenomenal, the rich texture was lovely.
- the Codinha fruit and nut bar was gorgeous and delicious !
- Codinha Chocolate Sugar free fruit + nut bar
JUDGES' COMMENTS
- The Sana Classic White Chocolate bar was very creamy and had layers of coconut and vanilla flavor. Yummy!
- The Chocopunto 78% and 85% dark chocolate bars achieve what few chocolate bars have... they taste like a fine red wine. This is a dark, red, rich cacao flavor profile with overtones of red grapes and black currants. No sugar required. Bravo!
- Love citrus fruit combo grapefruit, orange, lemon, lime, raspberry, nuts, pecans, walnuts, macademia, hazelnut
- A difficult choice for favorite between the Codhinha Fruit and Nut Bar and Rayluca Chocolate Glazed Orange. Both excellent confections, tasting naturally sweet, with great chocolate flavors.
- Codinha Chocolate Sugar-Free Fruit and Nut Bar - a gourmet candy bar, loved the quality ingredients, texture and flavor, I cannot detect the erythritol
- Dusso Chocolate DUSSO CHOCOLATE Date Pralines - did not realize it was date until I began judging, reminds me of the raw chocolate mousse made with dates I that I love, I cannot detect the erythritol
- The Good Chocolate Salted Almond - skimpy on almonds, nice texture on the coconut turmeric
- Sana Raspberry white - superb use of powdered raspberries, lovely flavor and texture, the melt point of this brand is enjoyable, very creamy and satisfying
