jcoco recently added a trio of bold new chocolates to its line of bars: Mango Plantain, Orange Blossom Espresso and 85% Dark.
Those who love milk chocolate will appreciate the nuances of the Mango Plantain bar, which "promises to deliver one of the most complex and surprising milk chocolate tastings you might ever experience." The bar contains chrunchy and chewy pieces of tropical fruit, plus a hint of sea salt and habanero extract for a hint of spiciness.
The Orange Blossom Espresso bar was inspired by the classic pairing of chocolate and citrus, and it shares the taste of aromatic orange oil with notes of black tea and cloves in a decadently rich base of 60% dark cacao.
