They recently sent me three bags of chocolate to review.
When stored at 60 F and 50% humidity the chocolate I received will last for 1 year.
Review:
Seriously, this is some of the BEST chocolate I have ever tasted, because I was sent so much I gave some dark chocolate to my mother in law to eat and she just loved it. I used a mix of dark and milk chocolate to make home made brownies and they came out so fudgy and was like a bite of heaven! This was some of the freshest taking chocolate I have ever tasted, I normally hate dark chocolate but this brand was so flavorful, not bitter and melted in your mouth. It also bakes well but also makes a great snack 🙂
I used my recipe for homemade brownies but I also added 1/2 cup of mixed dark and milk chocolate and melted it in then butter.
Santa Barbara Chocolate is a great source for all your chocolate needs!
