Tony’s Chocolonely 70% Dark Chocolate Bar, 6.35 oz

According to ConsumerLab.com, Tony's Dark Chocolate is very high in flavanols, beneficial nutrients in cocoa, and is low in lead and cadmium. Other chocolates on the market do not compare to this chocolate bar in those areas. That's good enough for me, but it's a plus that Tony's has made a priority to encourage good practices for growers and the people who harvest cocoa beans.

For a long time I thought that I didn't like any chocolate. Eventually, as an adult, one of my friends who self identifies as a chocoholic asked me what kind of chocolate I was trying. I told her it was usually the cheap stuff because I never end up liking it. She challenged me to try some more expensive chocolate to see if I just didn't like the cheap chocolate. Not expecting much, I bought a few different brands: Ghirardelli, Godiva, and Lindt. I LOVED the Godiva. I was extra surprised to find I liked the dark chocolate more than the milk chocolate. One day, I found Tony's in Walmart, and decided to give it a try. To me, it tastes at least as good as Godiva, and the wrapper talks about trying to improve the chocolate trade. So, I made the switch. Since then, Tony's Chocolonely has been my favorite brand of chocolate. It's now the only one I buy for myself (and for gifts).
