Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate & Uganda Theme Week.

Today's M.B.P.* Uganda Distinct Flavors By Origin: Mango, Banana, Pineapple (bar) (Harvest: 2022, Batch #10) was created by Hapa Chocolat, LLC (Los Gatos, CA) using cacao from Uganda (Semuliki Forest) and three fruits that mirror naturally occurring cacao flavors.

Aroma and flavor notes include: dark chocolate and tropical fruits (pineapple, banana, mango and cacao pulp/fruit).

Texture: smooth dark chocolate with a slight crunchy granularity (finely ground, likely freeze-dried fruit particles) that all melted/chewed down together nicely by the finish. 

I enjoyed: 1.) the texture and flavor arc; 2.) authentic fruit flavors that mirrored/complemented naturally occurring cacao (fruit pulp) flavors; and 3.) the short list of ingredients.

Ingredients: "Chocolate (organic cacao, cacao butter, sugar), Banana, Pineapple, Mango"

Allergen-related information: "Soy Free, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free"

*I am assuming that M.B.P. stands for Mango, Banana and Pineapple.
