Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate and Spices Theme Week.
Today's Spicy Dark Chocolate 73% Ecuadorian Cacao (bar) was from Creo Chocolate (Portland, OR).
Aroma and flavor notes detected in this smooth dark chocolate included: dark chocolate, warm spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice); very faint chili powder (hot peppers, faint paprika and chipotle); and very faint mellow nut.
Chili(s) gave this bar a a bit of spicy heat; but the overall warmth was from a blend of gingerbread/pumpkin-pie type spices. I enjoyed the flavors in this balanced, well-executed bar; and the fact that it wasn't too sweet. (The warm spices--and the smooth variety of Ecuadorian cacao chosen--seemed to make this flavorful bar a little sweeter than 73% cacao chocolate.)
Ingredients: "cacao beans, organic cane sugar, cocoa butter, chilies, and our blend of Creo spices"
