Interesting concept - Kava in a chocolate bar. Kava is supposed to make you relaxed. (The warning label on the wrapper recommends not eating more than one of these chocolate bars per day; and also recommends against driving heavy machinery if you're eating too much Kava.)

I didn't notice any dramatic effects from eating one of these. But, then again, I just came back from vacation, and I was feeling refreshed, clear-headed and productive just from the break; so it was hard to isolate any kava effects.

The milk chocolate base in this bar was OK, but the tiny flecks of kava did impart a certain texture that may taste fibrous or gritty to some.

Tahoe City Chocolates
(Milk) Chocolate (Dipped) Apricot
Very Good; the apricot inside the chocolate had just about the right amount of moistness and sweetness to it.
