Review: Lake Champlain Organic Dark Spicy Aztec Chocolate Bar

We love the Dark Spicy Aztec bar from Lake Champlain. Its 55% cocoa content is flanked by strong cinnamon and cayenne flavors. This is not a bar for the faint-hearted or the weak-paletted.

Unexpected is a good word to describe this spicy and sweet treat. It contains classic Mexican ingredients that hit you right off the bat. The minute you put it in your mouth, the cinnamon kicks in. But hold on to your hats, the cayenne is soon to follow, getting you in the back of the throat. This dark, rich bar has a very nice texture - smooth and velvety - which segue into the last surprise in this bar, the pumpkin seeds, which leave you with a crunchy treat to finish off your bite.

Lake Champlain's Organic Dark Spicy Aztec Bar is an enjoyable ride we recommend everyone lines up to take.

Hi Candy Snob! Thanks so much for the great words about our Aztec Chocolate. It's a fav here at the factory and so glad you dig it too! Not sure if you've tried the Sea Salt and Almond but it's #2 on my list. And according to Martha Stewart's Magazine Body + Soul, our organic milk chocolate is their taste panel's #1 pick. Thanks again for the sweet review!

Funny you should mention Sea Salt & Almond. We reviewed it a few weeks ago - its one of our favorite chocolates by far.
