This milk chocolate (40% cacao) Coconut Curry bar from Theo Chocolate (Seattle, WA) was good, albeit a bit sweet for my taste. Perhaps the chocolate-maker felt it needed to be this sweet to balance out the spices. Regardless, this quibble didn't stop me from eating a whole bar. This bar was also Organic and Fair Trade Certified.

The exotic-looking and colorful paintings/artwork adorning the 3400 Phinney* bar series wrappers were fun.

*3400 Phinney is the street address for Theo Chocolate, in Seattle, WA
