JUDGES' COMMENTS

FAVORITES

  • Delysia's Hazelnut Orange Blossom Dark Chocolate Bar was especially floral and heavenly. It really tasted of oranges in bloom.
  • I also loved Amano's Citrus Melange A Trois -- all those citrusy flavors blended beautifully.
  • Dos Rios by Amano was a pure delight.
  • Amano’s Dos Rio was my fav because it was a distinctly different and delicious single origin, but 7th Heaven’s Peanut Butter Cups were a close second because I was impressed by how well they captured a peanut butter cup experience in a vegan confection
  • Delysia Botanical Bliss Chocolate Truffle
  • Amano Dos Rios
  • I kept going back to the Grupo Grand Cru coffee...sooooo gooood. Cacao Lab Treasure Blender was a close second.
  • Delysia
  • Amano Artisan Chocolate Dos Rio, Dominican Republic
  • Delysia Hazelnut Orange Blossom

COMMENTS

  • "To Amano: your bars are consistently wonderful.
  • To Grupo CIMA Dorado: your coffee and coconut bars were flavored just to the right degree."
  • 7th Heaven delivered with two very nice oat milk-based confections.
  • "Delysia consistently has the most unique and conceptual flavor combinations.
  • The overall texture winner was Cacaolab for exceptionally smooth chocolate, and the Treasure Blender was divinely sweet and unique.
  • Grupo CIMA chocolates are exceptional in texture and flavor, particularly the coffee."
  • For Delysia: Orange blossom is so magically fragrant that it's great to see it -- and taste it -- in a chocolate treat. ...
  • For 7th Heaven: What fun to enjoy a vegan twist on an old-skool classic, the peanut-butter cup. Delicious!!
