Welcome to Day #16 of Chocolate and Hawaii Theme Week.
Today's 65% Hawaiian Chocolate with Coconut Milk (bar) was from Honoka'a Chocolate (Honoka'a, HI).
Aroma notes included: rich, authentic coconut milk and sweet chocolate.
The texture was velvety smooth. (Frequently you get this lovely silky/creamy texture with coconut milk + cocoa butter.)
Flavor notes included: dark chocolate, authentic coconut milk and yogurt/earth (faint loam).
I liked the short list of only three ingredients and the authentic flavors. This was almost too sweet for me but the slightly earthy cacao helped balance out the sweetness, and vice versa. Also, the turbinado sugar used was a little less processed than some sugars, resulting in more flavor and less sugar buzz--which I appreciated.
Ingredients: 100% Hawai'i Island cacao, organic coconut milk, organic turbinado cane sugar.
