Over the weekend I decided to try some 99% cocoa. I wholeheartedly tried one square and quickly came to the realization that this isn't like any other chocolate I have tried. The texture was somewhat smooth. The taste slightly bitter and strong. One wafer thin square is all your need. On the package it said *dark* but I think intense is another key word that should have been used. This kind of chocolate would be good with coffee or possibly a very good red wine. -JW
