Today's Banana + Cayenne bar from Antidote Chocolate (New York / Made in Ecuador with Arriba Nacional beans) was made with part raw and part roasted cacao -- yielding a good balance of both flavor (brought out with roasting) and nutritional content (preserved in the raw chocolate because raw cacao is not heated or processed above a certain temperature).Bits of dried banana and cayenne pepper (that showed up at the end of each bite) enlivened the 77% cacao dark chocolate base. The bits of banana added some authentic tasting, chewy texture and the cayenne gave the bar's finish a lively kick.
Today was Day #2 of Chocolate and Banana Theme Week.
