The dark chocolate is good, but the pretzel inside is what makes the difference!

We've tried both the milk chocolate and dark chocolate covered Gratify pretzels.  They are both delicious, not too much chocolate, not too much pretzel.  The chocolate on both is good, but the pretzel inside is what makes the difference.  These pretzels are much better than other gluten free brands I've tried.  The 12 pack is a better value than individuals, but they are still on the expensive side.

Great but with they had more of the wafers and clusters and less of the long chocolate bar which was too fluffy.

I remember the first time I tried a mekupelet bar.  I was in Israel, on a sightseeing tour.  The tour guide's daugher, a real Sabra, introduced me to the mekupelet bar.  She couldn't say the word 'mekupelet' without an accompanying languid eye roll, and she'd draw out the word, saying it in a breathless tone that almost made one blush.  With all of this heady buildup I tentatively tried my first piece.

It was good chocolate.  But not my favorite.

Mekupelet is made up very good chocolate, shaped in "strings" and braided into a thick bar.  It's just cocolate - no wafer or rice krispies or nuts or nougat inside.  It's good chocolate - as most all chocolate made in Israel is - and will definitely feed a sweet tooth.  But if you are looking for textural complexity in your candy bars, this will not fully satisfy.

I was a bit weary when buying this chocolate because this wasn't the brand I wanted (Ritter Sport). I bought milk chocolate with hazelnuts and just with the first bite, I could tell it was made by Lindt. I wouldn't know how to describe the taste but that it tastes "lighter" than the Ritters Sport bar. As I went bar after bar, it tasted even better but overall if I had to choose between Lindt and Ritter, I would pick the latter.

First off, I didn't know Scharffen was a division of Hershey so it was surprising when they arrived in a shipping box covered in Hershey's kisses, although it was adorable.  I'm not really a fan of Hershey's chocolate so finding that out I expected the worst.  However, this chocolate is a much higher quality than typical Hershey's.

The set is very nicely packaged and even comes with a bow, making it perfect for gift giving.  You receive at total of 8 bars in 4 different flavors, 2 flavors in milk chocolate and 2 flavors in dark chocolate.  Before I critique the individual flavors I will say that unlike some of the  bars of this size, the chocolate is not divided into squares but instead larger triangles and no matter what we did, even using a sharp knife, we could not get the chocolate to break along the score marks.  They'd always break up into a bunch of jagged little pieces, which was kind of annoying.

Here is the flavor breakdown:

* Dark Chocolate Pistachio:  Both of the dark chocolate bars in this set are an extremely dark and therefore *very* intense.  I would consider myself a fan of dark chocolate.  I often seek it out.  But the 72% cacao in this bar was too much for me, I guess (I typically don't go above the 60% range).  Initially, I was very excited to see a pistachio chocolate combination because it's not anything I'd seen available in other candies.  However, there's just something terribly off about the flavor profile.  It's very salty too.  I'm a fan of sea salt in chocolate but this was a little much.  I don't know if it was the combination of all these intense flavors or what but I found this bar to be so bitter it was almost medicinal tasting and, frankly, inedible.  I gave it too my mom who is a huge fan of dark chocolate and she was able to eat it but even she said it was too much and didn't taste very good.  This was by far the worst of the flavors.

* Dark Chocolate Raspberry Almond:  This one also has that extreme 72% and therefore shares that same overly bitter, generally unpleasant flavor, however the almonds in place of pistachios do make it better (perhaps that makes it less salty?).  The raspberry pieces are the highlight of this bar and make it more enjoyable, but while I was able to eat more of it I still ended up giving it away and wasn't really a fan.

* Milk Chocolate Coconut Macadamia:  I enjoyed the milk chocolate bars oh so much better!  Overall, the milk chocolate bars had a significantly more smooth and creamy mouth feel too.  This is a flavor I would actually seek out again and was a tasty chocolate bar to eat.  It's the mildest chocolate of the bunch at 33% cacao and what really stands out for me is the flavor of the macadamia.  You certainly get the coconut in there too, but with the nut chunks cut so small I expected the macadamia to be overpowered and that wasn't the case.  You can taste it clearly, and that in combination with the coconut and chocolate was like a tropical treat.

* Milk Chocolate Almond:  This was my favorite flavor of the gift set.  It's a milk chocolate but a strong one with a taste that's more in line with what you'd get if you bought a typical checkout lane "dark chocolate", probably because the cacao percentage in this one is raised to 41%.  You can never go wrong with a classic, and chocolate and almonds remains that winning combination.  Also, in this bar while the saltiness was definitely present, I didn't find it overpowering like with the dark chocolate bars.  It just added a pleasantness to the overall flavor.

So to sum up, I truly had mixed feelings on this assortment.  I really enjoyed half of it, but the other half ended up being inedible for my palate.  To be clear, I do feel that it's a high quality chocolate.  If it wasn't for those dark chocolate flavors I would have given this a resounding 5 stars, but I've never tasted such bitterness in a dark chocolate before so please be aware of that.

I've been eating Lindt 85% dark chocolate as a healthy treat for a while now and have a pretty good feel for what that chocolate is like.  I expected the 90% to be somewhat similar to that, only stronger, but I was very wrong.

Lindt 90% has a drier, more chalky composition than the 85%.  It also has hints of what tastes like marshmallow (though I'm sure it's something else).  The 85% by contrast, is creamier with a strong, organic woody flavor.  The 85% comes across as a more traditional dark chocolate while the 90% seems like a different product all together.  I will say thought that the 90% seems to lack the "bite" of bitterness that the 85% did.

So overall this is a nice product, though you do see some eccentricities start to creep into the product as you get close to 100% pure cocoa.  I would very strongly advise working your way up to this dark of a chocolate to acclaimate your taste to it.  Try the 72% and the 85% first.  Most people will want to stop at the 85%, though this gives you an option if you want a little something more.

Like most people, I love chocolate but don't need the fat grams and excess of sugars that come with many candies. So, this soy/dark chocolate option sounded appealing.

The good news--the chocolate is good. To me, it tastes of high-quality semi-sweet coco. The soy nut inside gives the candy a nice crunch. A bit crunchier on the inside than, say, a peanut M&M. Because the chocolate is semisweet, you don't get the quick sugar hit. I also found that a single bag satisfied my cravings for a snack. I would eat a lot more M&Ms.

Why not a perfect '5' ranking? A couple of reasons. First, although the soy nut gives a nice texture crunch, it doesn't seem to add any flavor I could detect. Second, I slipped a pack in my pocket to share with a friend and when she opened the pack, there was some obvious melting--not what I'd like to see for a treat I'll generally use as something for a pick-me-up while I'm on the go.

Overall, I found the SBL Snack Pack to be an attractive treat. Getting a nice hit of chocolate and a bit of a crunch is a good deal, and the semi-sweet chocolate is a better flavor choice for an adult than the over-sweet milk chocolate of many traditional candies. 100 calories worth of these works out to a nice number. Few enough that it's easy to eat them in a single sitting, but enough that I felt like I'd really gotten something and wasn't depriving myself.

Raisins are plump and filling. The chocolate is not bad either.

Love that I can get pretzels that are low carb!  The taste is not the same but that was expected, but the crunch is great!  The taste is not bad, but just a little bland.  I plan to try to give them a little more flavor by brushing with butter, sprinkling garlic powder on them and then baking for a bit.  Another idea is to use a low carb dip or cream cheese.  They are single serving packaged, but I usually just eat 1/2 a package at a time.  They were very fresh and arrived undamaged.  Only a couple pretzels were less than whole.  Definitely will buy again.

I love white chocolate.  I love pretzels.  Put them together and it is like eating a bit of heaven if they are made right.  These are the best I have ever eaten!  I just reordered.  I will keep them hidden this time.

Enjoy!

Overall, I like the blend of flavors for this bar. The chocolate is more of a cocoa flavor than traditional chocolate, which works nicely with the tartness of the berries.  I would prefer if they were a little less sweet, and looking at the ingredients you can see there is some added sugar for a total of 10grams per bar.  Not overly high, but I would have liked it to be around 6grams of sugar per bar.  The bars are not overly chewy, which is a good thing, so you don't need to worry about any dental work - they taste more like a soft oatmeal cookie with a bit of bite.

I prefer this company's dark chocolate, but this is quite good.

Pretzels are delicious and taste real. Also low calorie.

I haven't tried all the Zone Bar flavors yet, but I have yet to try a bad one.  The double-dark chocolate is my Favorite so far.  I know Zone Bars aren't THE healthiest snack out there, but it give me the chocolate kick I crave, some good vitamins, protein and of course is better than a snickers bar!  100% Recommend!  :)

I am a huge fan of Vosges chocolate bars, but this is one of the more unusual ones in their Super Dark series.  Chocolophiles will either love it or hate it. They start with their usual, excellent rich dark chocolate, which has just the right bitter overtones to balance the sweetness.  To that they have added coconut flavor (a mild amount so as not to over power), dried banana (which is also a mild flavor), and coconut shell ash.  That's right, burnt powdered coconut shells.  It makes the chocolate bar very, very dark, and there is a bit of black powder that comes off on your fingers.  So it gives the bar a bit of a grit, and some earthier flavors.
I found it quite intriguing, and good as an occasional treat, but it can be overwhelming if eaten too often.

The chocolate on the outside was kind of white and chalky, like maybe they got too hot during transport.  The inside was okay and the chalky appearance didn't seem to affect the taste too much.  I was just happy to find them because I can't find them anymore with the chia seeds and my husband eats one everyday when he wakes up!!

Pros: came in good condition - no damage merchandise nor stale crackers.
Con: it has few of the chocolate, vanilla compare to the cheese
