To Endorfin Foods: Endorfin Foods chocolate stands miles apart from most chocolate on the market today. The experience begins with an exquisitely designed envelope, which yields a bar of supremely refined texture and a gastronomic feast not just for the tastebuds but the entire body, for the notes of caramelized coconut milk, cacao and its butter, vanilla, and perhaps a few other elements of surprise, will carry you on multiple waves of healthful bliss long after the last bit melts on your tongue. ~ Birgitte Rasine, author of "The Jaguar and the Cacao Tree"

To Tandem Chocolates: There are few things in life as transporting as a refreshing blend of exotic fruit with a hint of citrus, and a delicate shell of chocolate. Tandem Chocolates' Coco Passion will take your palate to places you've never been.
-
Crack'd Toffee - smooth and buttery with no burnt flavor, pairing perfectly with the velvety and rich dark vegan chocolate. EH Chocolatier Meltaways - just yummy! Appreciate the variety of flavors and "melt-in-your-mouth" texture. Seleuss Porter di Coco - delicious subtle flavors.
-
Seleuss Porter di Coco gave me a total chocolatgasm!!...Honduras Chocolate Company's bars were an excellent example of letting top ingredients shine - delicious and complex chocolate!...EH Chocolatier's flavorings were wonderfully vibrant...The Hu Hunks chocolate covered cashews were addictive for munching...Enjoyed the puffed quinoa in the Hu Vanilla Crunch bar...The Crack'd Toffee is remarkably good for a toffee made with zero butter...Play in Choc's nuggets were fudgy and satisfying - and the compostable wrapper was earth-friendly...I'm not a milk chocolate fan, yet really enjoyed the Treat Dreams Milk Chocolate Crunch...
-
Treat Dream TBC - The only chocolate I went back to have seconds after tasting all the chocolate!
-
Tandem continues to hit it out of the park, and EHChocolatier was an exceptional new contender. Treat Dreams was cuteness overload, and I mean that in a good way. Honduras Chocolate Company makes tasty, not bitter dark chocolate with only 2 ingredients. And For Pete's Sake made a "milk" chocolate bar that successfully translated chai tea into chocolate

Beautiful design on the EHChocolatier truffles, just gorgeous to look at, almost (but luckily not quite) too lovely to eat! ... AND ... I'm very impressed that Honduras Chocolate Company uses only two ingredients. ... AND ... Seleuss Chocolates has very elegant packaging -- simple yet regal, and of course the chocolate itself is fantastic: would make a very special gift! ... AND ... For Pete's Sake: great product,
