Haven’t gotten mom anything for Mother’s Day? Going to send her flowers, even though they will be dead in a week! Maybe a Hallmark card and phone call instead? BORING! Read on for an idea that will leave mom smiling ear to ear.
Our friend, Nora, contacted us last week to see if we would sample some chocolate for her. HUMMM ……. YES! Okay, in all honesty before I actually jumped into the pool of chocolate I checked out the company first. We are a bit snobby when it comes to chocolate, we like pure, dark chocolate!
The company happened to be called Pure Dark and they are located in New York City. As soon as I saw their site, I had a feeling, this would be good. Then I continued to read about the company and their beliefs about chocolate. They feel the same way we feel about all food – it should come from the earth and should be in it’s purest form when we consume it. They use the purest blends of premium beans they can find, which in turn leads to an intense chocolate. As well each product is produced in small batches so that they have control over how it will come out as well they are able to make sure every bite will be delicious – no mass producing! All of the ingredients that they use for each of their products comes from the earth, which in turns gives you a “pure chocolate” experience. This is all I needed to know to tell Nora, YES, we would love to sample their chocolates
A few days later a huge, I am talking huge box arrived on our door step. Inside it was filled with slabs, barks, bags of chocolate pieces, rounds of chocolate, chocolate covered nuts and fruit. A few of the highlights was the Slab, the Serious Dark with Caramelized Nibs; the Bark, the Island with Mango, Macadamia Nuts and Caramelized Nibs; and a bag of Chiptole Cinnamon Dark Chocolate Rounds. This chocolate is amazing. Even the plain is really intense, dark, and luscious. Add nuts, caramelized nibs and fruit, it only gets better. Now, I have eaten some amazing chocolates in my time but these are really out of this world. I loved the tropical fruits mixed with the dark chocolate, slightly bitter and slightly sweet. Chiptole cinnamon dusted dark chocolate rounds kick ass….. spicy peppers cooled down with slightly sweet bitter chocolate. A sure sign that something was good at our house, is the fact, that it does not stay around long. I am not even kidding when I say this HUGE box of chocolate only lasted 4 days in our house. Someone besides myself LOVED it and was even talking about how good it was …. long after it was gone!
This would make a great Mother’s Day gift. Any chocolate loving mother would go crazy over these chocolates. The good news, you don’t have to live in New York to pick up some. They will ship them to sweet ole’ mom! If I was a mom, I’d love the Product of the Month – the gift that will certainly keep on giving!
