The umami notes of this #CostaRica bar with nibs were calling to me this morning. They were saying "eat me, enjoy", so I did. . . . #Beantobar #beantobarchocolate #chocolate #cacao #craftchocolate #artisanchocolate #darkchocolate #finechocolate #artisan #crafted #chocolatetasting #chocolat #chocolatelover #delicious @potomacchocolate #nibs

Just received bittersweet news that makes me happy and makes my heart ache all at the same time. For situations like this I pull out a 100% chocolate that is weathered and bloomed, yet aged beautifully. The bitterness and texture seems to be appropriate for the moment. . . . #Beantobar #beantobarchocolate #chocolate #cacao #craftchocolate #artisanchocolate #darkchocolate #finechocolate #artisan #crafted #chocolatetasting #chocolat #chocolatelover #delicious #blackandwhite

While the sun contemplates rising and it is still dark outside I'm enjoying the savory dried fruit and walnut notes of a Wild Bolivia bar by @sirenechocolate. It is going to be a savage day. . . . #Beantobar #beantobarchocolate #chocolate #cacao #craftchocolate #artisanchocolate #darkchocolate #finechocolate #artisan #crafted #chocolatetasting #chocolat #chocolatelover #delicious #Bolivia #wildcacao #sirenechocolate

My husband pops into the kitchen while I'm making chocolate chip cookies and asks "Why are you chopping that block of chocolate? Didn't they have chocolate chips at the store? ", I reply, "Yes they had chocolate chips. They contained far too much sugar and some other ingredients I don't want to eat, so I had to buy this huge chunk of chocolate and chunk it up myself". Then he offered to chunk up the remaining chocolate for me. ❤️#truelove #chocolatelove #priorities #cleaneating (at Seattle, Washington)
