Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Cacao Nibs Theme Week.

Today's Chocolate Cherry Bling with cacao nibs and dates bar was distributed by Empact Bars LLC (Boulder, CO).

This protein* and energy bar was a small, cheery package of dense goodness. The "Goal Digger" tagline, on the shiny gold polka-dotted black and pink packaging was a play on gold digger. I'll take it either way.

The bar had well-balanced dried fruit (dates, unsweetened tart cherries), chocolate brownie (cocoa powder, cocoa nibs) and protein (whey protein, golden flaxseeds, white chia seeds) flavor and textures, compressed into a classy dark protein bar.

Today's bar had great natural flavor with less sugar than most other bars. And it was also gluten free. (Thank you!)

*This bar contained 10 grams of protein.

Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate and Cacao Nibs Theme Week.

Today's Sunbiotics Organic Probiotic Raw Chocolate Bar was distributed by Windy City Organics (Northbrook, IL).

The 65% cacao dark chocolate bar was just the right size for a single serving. It had a sweet and mild, authentic raw (un-roasted) chocolate flavor with a hint of vanilla bean marshmallow.

Even though this chocolate bar came loaded with "10 billion active probiotics," there was nothing different about the flavor. And if you didn't get enough "biotics," Yacon* root powder added some prebiotics.

*Yacon is a plant that grows wild in parts of South America. It is grown for its edible root. The older/previous technical name for Yacon was Polymnia sonchifolia (Edible Goddess).
