I’m in love with the stuff. But only 90% cacao or more. No candy for me. I want the hard stuff.

The availability of good dark chocolate is now epic
When I was a kid it was Hershey’s. Cadbury and m&m mars
Now it incredible gourmet and exotic
But I still generally get the bulk dark choc mini maltballs and super duper organic mini ‘reeses’

This is what heaven tastes like to me.
