Orange you a Chocoholic?

So, why the heck would you want any fruit in your rich, dark connoisseurs chocolate? I would normally agree with you here, but every now and then a special combination of ingredients works especially well. So well, that I have to let others know about it. 

I have found the best orange chocolate. This little bar is the "Organic Dark Chocolate with Orange" bar by Endangered Species Chocolate. 

This 1.4 ounce bar packs a wallop to the taste buds. How can something so small be so damn good? Well, one of the secrets is that the bar is made from organic chocolate. For you that do not know or cough at the mention of organics, it's time you drop your attitude and try the stuff for yourself. There is a reason why many of the world's top chefs and companies are switching to organics, they taste better. Flat out…they taste better. The crops develop better and as a result have more nutrients and more compounds that produce more flavorful food. 

The second secret is that this little devil uses Valencia orange oil to flavor the bar. I do like orange peel in my food and chocolate, but the oil is spectacular. It's the very meaning of gastronomical richness. This might be too rich for those of you out there that are not used to eating pure foods and real flavors. There are no fake flavors or corn syrup fake fruits here.

While you are at it, you should probably grab two bars. One for now and one for the minute after.
