Product: Dark Chocolate Dream Pure Dark Chocolate Bar – $3.49+
Chocolate can be tricky sometimes when it comes to gluten intolerance. Honestly. I’m not making this up.
So when I find a brand that is clearly labeled gluten-free I try to stick with it. Not only is the Dark Chocolate Dreams Pure Dark Chocolate Bar gluten-free, but it is also dairy free as well, which is a definite plus with my lactose intolerance.
I am actually surprised this bar of dark chocolate goodness lasted as long as it did in my pantry. Seriously. But I had some chocolate to go through before I got to it. And I blame it on the much too bitter taste of the 100% Dark Chocolate Ghirardelli Baking Squares I had attempted to use in my gluten-free S’mores the night before for breaking into this dreamy bar of dark chocolate goodness. Using some gluten-free graham crackers, marshmallow fluff, and a square of the Pure Dark bar from Dark Chocolate Dreams, I was in S’morey heaven and it was love at first bite.
Not very many companies out there and guarantee that their chocolate is free of all traces of dairy and gluten, but the makers of Soy Dream and Rice Dream nondairy beverages can. And that sort of certainty makes a world of difference when it comes to food allergies.
One bite of the Pure Dark bar and I was in dark chocolate heaven. Honestly, dark chocolate is my favorite type of chocolate in the world, and this was perfection. Very smooth to taste and it was a nice compliment to the additional ingredients I was using it with. The chocolate wasn’t too bitter, but just the right level of bittersweet that you need with dark chocolate. It didn’t overpower anything and it held up to the kitchen torch when I toasted my marshmallow fluff for the Smore’s.
Color me impressed. For a dark chocolate connoisseur like myself, finding a chocolate that I don’t have to question how or where it was made is a dream come true. The fact that it is ultimate dark chocolate perfection is the added bonus. I highly recommend Dark Chocolate Dream’s Pure Dark Chocolate Bar whether for use with dessert or a sweet nibble when a chocolate craving hits. I know I’ll be buying more of these chocolates now that I know how amazing they are.
