Chocoholic heads up.

I used to be partial to having 100% chocolate (usually Willie's Cacao) with semi-dried dates, figs and other fruits:

Venezuelan Black | Willie's Cacao

100% Cacao for savoury and sweet recipes for real depth of flavour. 100% natural. Vegan. No Added Sugar

I would break it into smaller shards and replace e.g. a date pit with a shard or two and then eat it. It would be a much more complex taste than normal chocolate, and I could control the amount of sweetness to my liking.

Being a lifelong Chocoholic I thought this would be a nice post to start. I'm always on the lookout for some quality chocolate. Well, today I came across one of the best dark chocolates I have tasted in a very long time. Not until I had consumed half the bar did I go back to the Tesco site and check out the reviews. This chocolate is outstanding, smooth, creamy and complex with just the correct hint of bitterness. I would be surprised if you don't eat the whole bar.

Oddly enough, we have been partial to their darker range for years Lots of folks can’t seem to take the more intense flavour and I get that, but it’s a daily treat in our house with an afternoon cup of coffee.

Used to grate Willie’s 100% into home made curry’s and Dahl’s - adds a rich silky unctuousness to the sauce. Always keep 100% in the house for cooking. Personally, It’s a bridge too far to eat on its own - seems a huge flavour jump from 85% to 100% cacao.
I do have cacao nibs on my breakfast grains every morning though and they’re pretty palatable..

It being quite intense on its own is why, when I used to have it, I would have it with fresh or dried fruit most of the time.
