You've probably noticed advertisements here on FA for Nepenthe Chocolate. I first discovered them back in September when  Vandringar posted THIS PHOTO which is featured on the Nepenthe web site. I promised myself that I'd place an order as soon as the scorching summer heat no longer threatened to turn chocolate left in my mailbox into a hot brown puddle. The day finally came and my first (yes, I plan to order more) chocolate order arrived yesterday.

There are nearly two dozen flavors offered on the Nepenthe Chocolate site. I sampled three:

70% Dark
Most of the flavors currently available from Nepenthe are dark chocolate blends. I figured that an unflavored dark would be the litmus test of the quality, so I ordered a bar of the 70% dark. I'm happy to say that this test came back positive. Make no mistake, this is not your Hershey's Special Dark (which is still fairly sweet, IMO) but has a more pure chocolate flavor.

Baobab White
I had absolutely no idea what to expect when I gambled and ordered a bar of this chocolate. Baobab? What the heck is that? Well, my gamble paid off. This is a white chocolate with a tang to it that is something akin to lemon, but not quite. It's hard to describe, but take a chance like I did and your taste buds will thank you.

Brown Sugar Dark
If you have more of a sweet tooth, this Brown Sugar flavor may be more to your liking. The web site says it is one of their most popular flavors and its easy to see why. It has a rich taste somewhere between dark and light chocolates. If you're thinking of giving the gift of chocolate to somebody, but aren't sure which camp they're in, light or dark, this is a great choice. I'll definitely order this one again.

With a wide selection of flavors, hot, sweet, fruity, spicy, you're sure to find something to please your palate at Nepenthe Chocolate. Watch this space for future reviews of other flavors.
