Chocolate is one of my favorite food groups. Seriously, though. I may be calorie counting, but I make room in my count at least once a week for some yummy chocolate. The darker, the better.
I recently had the privilege of reviewing three custom chocolate bars from Choccreate.
Choccreate is a website where you can custom create and design your own personal chocolate bars. Featuring over 101 ingredients, including various nuts, fruits, decorative items, herbs, spices, and even gold, in your choice of milk, dark, or white chocolate. There is something for the chocoholic in everyone.
My custom chocolate bars included a dark chocolate bar with ground espresso, a dark chocolate bar with dried Gogi berries, and a dark chocolate bar with cocoa nibs and red chili powder.
I have to say, of the three, my favorite was the dark chocolate with ground espresso. No big surprise there, since coffee is another favorite food group. My chocolate. My way. Yum. The cocoa nibs and chili powder dark chocolate bar was scrumptious. And I could not believe the size of the berries in the Gogi berry and dark chocolate bar!
I did notice that the chocolate bars weighed slightly less than the labeling stated, but only because I am calorie counting and all things get weighed around here. I was concerned about it, at first, but after weighing similar bars from other companies, I realize that some weight variance is to be expected with molded chocolate bars.
Easter is coming up, quickly, and what better way to show your chocolate lover how much you adore them than by giving them yummy treats from Choccreate.

I love anything that lets you create your own version- and this definitely looks like a delicious example of that!
Debbie C says
Chocolate, chocolate, it is my love! Creating my own bar would be fabulous. I’d be sure to add NUTS! And to think that both nuts and chocolate have health benefits is such a hoot.

I know darker is better for you, but I’m not a fan of the bitterness. I guess I need to work my way up. Or maybe start high and come down.
Billie says
I”ve been watching my calories, I definitely need some chocolate.
