This bar of Madagascar 67% is one of the finest bars of dark chocolate I've ever tasted. It's like drinking red wine in your favourite countryside pub with a log fire roaring!

Madre Chocolate Bars

These Madre Chocolate dark bars offered an excellent variety of flavours from both Hawaii and the Dominican Republic. There were all made exceptionally well. If you do get a chance to try them, then please do.

Fruition Chocolate 66% Dark Chocolate

There is something magnificent about micro-batch chocolate makers putting the effort in to create utterly delightful chocolate as this 66% bar. It may be a touch sweet, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

This Artisan du Chocolat Gingerbread Cookies White Chocolate is quite possibly my most favourite white chocolate bar of all time. I know its sweet, but unlike the others, there are various interesting flavours going on that seem to mitigate the sweetness.

Say it with Brownies Cookies & Cream Brownie

These Cookies & Cream Brownie from Say it with Brownies are absolutely delicious. Of course they're incredibly rich and fairly sweet, but they have a tanginess which I found incredibly addictive. You'll also get a lot more than you think as you get twelve decent sized slices.

Sir Hans Sloane Dark Drinking Chocolate Beads

When it comes to a pick me up after a hard, stressful day at work, there's nothing better than a hot cup of choc to sooth away those mental blockages and unwind. And there's no better way to do that than with these beads from Sir Hans Sloane.

Marc Demarquette’s Nutkeeper’s Caramels

The general type of chocolate caramels that I get to try are ones that are excessively sticky and gooey where the contents don't actually allow the flavour of the chocolate to come through - these do. Marc has done an awesome job with the Nutkeeper's aramels.

Åkesson’s 75% Criollo Madagascar

This bar offers a sweet and sour experience with the balance of saltiness and red fruits. Although it's not perfect, it still does offer an immensely enjoyable experience.

The Domori Porcelana 70% Dark Chocolate Bar is truly a wonderful bar of dark chocolate made with the Porcelana Criolllo cacao bean from Venezuela. It is delicious, but not very bitter or a wide range of notes.

Most of you probably wouldn't have heard of Amelia Rope - I hadn't until recently, but she has put her heart and soul into these bars. They're definitely well worth trying if you get the chance.

These Pierre Marcolini Palets Fins and Saveurs du Monde are gave me one of the best chocolate experiences of my life.

The Brownie Points Chocolate Brownies aren't as gooey as others, but still the lightness with a noticeable top note of cocoa adds a pleasant dimension.

Artisan du Chocolat Jamaica – 72% Dark Chocolate Bar

This Artisan du Chocolat Jamaica 72% Dark Chocolate Bar is a very aromatic bar which milk chocolate fans would find too strange. I love it though.

Mast Brothers Fleur de Sel 72% Dark Chocolate

This is a truly outstanding bar of chocolate that may have a salty edge, but is still magnificent. We always know that the Mast Brothers produce great chocolate, the question you should ask your self is just how great it is.

Melt Chocolates Truffles & Bon Bon Selection Box

The Melt Chocolates Truffles & Bon Bon Selection Box was absolutely fantastic! You've got to try them!

William Curley’s Sea Salt Caramel Bar

The caramel is dense, dark and treacly. It reminded me of burnt marshmallows over a campfire but it had a warmth of a country Aga range. The sea salt lingers around your lips like a cold ocean spray and adds freshness to the deep molten caramel. The neutrality of the chocolate coating (not too sweet, not too bitter) perfectly compliments the seriousness of the caramel it wraps around.

If you're pregnant or just don't drink alcohol but the taste and texture of chocolate truffles then these could be for you as they have a wonderful flavour.

Morrisons Rocky Road Bars

I just love Rocky Road chocolate! It must be up there with truffles, and just check out this Rocky Road Easter egg whilst we’re at it! What I also like is try different things. I saw that these Morrisons Rocky Road bars were gluten and wheat free – both things that I think I have an intolerance...

These Glico Pocky Choco Banana sticks are absolutely shuffing amazing. If you get the chance to buy them then definitely try them if you're not allergic to anything.

Valrhona Gran Couva Dark Chocolate

Oooh! This is a wonderfully sweet dark chocolate that ticks so many boxes and will leave you wanting more. 64% cocoa generally is at the bottom of my range for luxury chocolate, I don’t typically go for anything much less than that, but I feel one the greatest sins in chocolate is not to try any...

Seeds of Change Organic Apricot & Cashew Bar

Actually very good for a chocolate bar that you can easily find in a supermarket, what's more, its ethical too!
