The Wild Blackberry dark chocolate contains a nice rich combination of flavors. I'm not especially fond of little berry seeds, so I give the company extra points for straining them out, while still maintaining the nice authentic/natural berry flavor in jelly-gel centers.

It's been fairly cold in California for the past month...which got me thinking....Have I eaten any chocolates from Alaska yet? Negative. So, here is where online search and ordering comes in so handy. Just plug in "Alaska chocolate" into a search window and voila! This is how I found Alaska Wild Berry Products. The (15 different) wild berry jelly centers (from hand-picked berries no less) are really the stars of this milk and dark assortment.
