And all because the lady loves …
This selection of treat size 20g bars from Cocoa Bean are a delight. Himself got them in Chocolat, Ennis as a little pressie pour moi :-)
The bars inside are thin and so east to break off a little or a large square. The G&T is something else – it is my favourite of them all. Tasting the Lime and Black Pepper went something like this: yip, that’s nice, dark chocolate and lime is good. where is the pepper …. oh there it is … tiny grains of black pepper waiting to be munched. I love chocolate bars …

I love these, but was disappointed by the rose and pistachio version (this year’s Easter Egg). My favourite is their wooden box with a selection of tiny bars.

Oh I’ve never seen the wooden box selection … sounds very elegant. Pity about the rose and pistachio. I think I’ve sampled it but I cannot remember so that is probably not a good sign. Now all I can think is: I wonder can I get a Gin & Tonic Easter egg???

Naturally retaining flavanols, a special cocoa is found in studies to aid in maintaining a health brain function, thus possibly helping combat dementia and cognitive decline.
These flavanols, which naturally occur in cocoa beans, have been earlier suggested to benefit the heart, inducing good blood flow and improved elasticity in blood vessels. They are also shown to decrease bad LDL cholesterol and to inhibit aggregation of blood platelets, which helps avoid stroke-inducing blood clots.
