One of Most Delicious Coconut Chocolates in the World - Bounty Bar Chocolate

Chocolates are considered to be the most scrumptious snacks when it comes to sweets. There would be no one, who wouldn't love chocolates. Some of these chocolates are completely made up of cocoa beans and some of them come with different fillings in them as well, such as orange, coconut, banana and caramel fillings. These chocolates have made their own place amongst people and are always in demand, as many people cannot eat pure chocolates because of their slightly bitter nature. Mars Incorporated was the first company, which introduced the coconut chocolate, named as Bounty Bar Chocolate.

Introduced in the year 1951, these coconut filled chocolates became an instant hit and people thronged to buy these immensely delicious chocolate bars. Bounty bar chocolate basically has a coconut filling, which is made by crushing coconut into very small pieces and mixing it with dark chocolate. Another bar with milk chocolate coating is also produced. It comes in a blue wrapper, whereas the dark chocolate comes in a white wrapper. In beginning, cherry and mango flavored bounty chocolates were also introduced but these could not match the popularity of coconut filled dark bounty chocolate.

What makes this chocolate very desirable is the combination. Coconut, when mixed with dark chocolate gives a very succulent and tender taste to the chocolate, which instantly melts into the mouth when eaten. The chocolate with the coconut filling serves as a good appetizer and can be used as a lunch snack. Bounty bar chocolate needs to be eaten straight out of the refrigerator. If you keep it out of the fridge for some time and then eat it, you won't be able to enjoy the flavor completely. So, it is important to make sure that these chocolates were kept in a fridge while you are buying them. If you are buying them in a stock, keep them stored in a refrigerator, so you get to enjoy the real taste of these every time you get one out to eat.

A normal Bounty bar chocolates pack has two mini chocolate bars, each 6 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. The palm trees printed over the wrapper make you feel like you are near a beach full of coconut trees. One mini bar seems to be too short to enjoy the taste fully, but there is another mini bar to follow. If you haven not eaten this chocolate, you definitely should try this heavenly treat.

Vivani Chocolate - The Best in the World!

Chocolate, the food that has the ability to move the heart of a woman. Indeed, chocolate has been know to release chemicals similar to those created in passionate interchange. But as I have discovered through the years, not all chocolate creates the same intoxicating effects.

While at a small health food store in Abingdon, VA, I decided to test out a chocolate that was new to me. I normally try to eat chocolate that has around 70% cocoa solids. Bittersweet, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate is my favorite. Today, they were out of chocolate bars that met my criteria - so I had to settle for 85%. Despite the cashier's encouragement that I would love the chocolate bar I chose, I was skeptical. 85% is normally too bitter for this taster.

I was in for a titillating surprise. Not only was this chocolate as good as the cashier said, it was the absolute best chocolate I have ever masticated. Let me share four reasons why Vivani chocolate has the ability to stimulate the female passion like no other chocolate.

First, Vivani chocolate is 100% organic. This means that there are no harmful chemicals or pesticides in the finished product. Therefore the eater can become intoxicated by the release of serotonin, without any fear of ingesting any toxins. It is a truly organic experience.Secondly, Vivani chocolate is as pure as a virgin on her wedding night. It contains no additives - not even the common chocolate additive - soya lecithin.Thirdly, Vivani chocolate is made from chocolate liqueur, not cocoa powder. Perhaps this should have been listed as of first importance. Why? Because chocolate liqueur is the undefiled product extracted from the cocoa bean and is as creamy as...well, let's just say, it is superbly creamy. There are no traces of cocoa powder to dissolve on the tongue, just pure heaven.Last of all, Vivani chocolate is the least bitter dark chocolate I have ever tasted - and that at 85%. As I shared before, 85% chocolate is normally way to bitter. I could detect no bitterness in this chocolate. It was very sweet and mild, yet rich with bursting cocoa flavor.

The only disappointing discovery I made after savoring this delectable treat, is that I realized I may never be able to enjoy any other chocolate.

I guess the only solution is to buy it by the case load. Not a problem. I found a source.

If you love chocolate - and are especially intent on organic, you will not be disappointed with Vivani. It rocks!
