Review: Dove Extra Dark Chocolate Minatures

Dove has jumped on to the dark chocolate bandwagon with both feet. We tried the miniature version of their Extra Dark Chocolate. It boasts 63% cacao (they also have a 71% bar) and is available in a 3.5-oz. bar and a 5.36-oz. pouch of miniatures.

First thought is that I like the size of it. If its a decent piece of chocolate, and you take your time eating it, a small piece is all you really need. Is it one of the best pieces of dark chocolate I've ever had, definitely not. But is it a considerable step above most grocery store chocolates? Absolutely. Enjoyable flavor, decent mouth-feel. If you're not looking to break the bank on the really good stuff, this is a nice option.

As an added bonus (sort of), each piece wrapped with a special "Promise" note inside. Nice sentiment, but if you're having a chocolate jones, I'm doubting you're paying attention to the wrapper.
