The bits of black pepper in this dark (50% cacao - Peru) bar were easier to taste (than the lemon and pepper bar from yesterday - where the lemon flavor outshone the pepper flavor). Yes, there is nothing like biting into a piece of black peppercorn and suddenly bringing a halt to the conversation you're having with someone, while you make odd sounds and faces.

The texture to this bar was a bit crumbly. However, this problem was easily solved when I dissolved this in milk and made spicy hot chocolate out of part of it.
