Review: Nestle Treasures Renew Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar
This is a really nice eating bar. It is only 50% cocoa, so you're not going to get the depth of flavor of darker chocolate. However, what is may lack to some in terms of complexity, it more than makes up for in texture. The chocolate itself melts more like milk chocolate than dark chocolate, and that creaminess is amplified by the truffle-esque filling. I say "truffle-esque" because it is in bar form...truffles are supposed to be roundish usually. Running in contrast to the creaminess are the tiny cocoa bits, which add the perfect amount of crunch.
Nestle calls this bar "Renew" - making reference to the health benefits of eating dark chocolate (such as being a good source of anti-oxidants). To us, it has also renewed our faith that the big chocolate makers can put together luxurious, high-quality chocolate that's available at your local check-out.

Ah, but the cacao beans are still processed - so 80 per cent of the antioxidants and nutrients are lost. You need raw, unprocessed, cold-pressed cacao beans to get the benefits - and without processed sugars, added fats, preservatives, waxes or fillers.
There is such a product in 6 different, delicous varieties. You can check it out at: www.simplychocolate.biz
