 I REALLY want to try the bar with almonds, or just the plain dark chocolate one. I sampled the espresso bar and ... I'm not excited to polish it off WHICH says a lot for me and my relationship with chocolate. 

I totally love that it is organic and fair trade - but Sjaak's may have missed the mark with their espresso conquest.

First off - it was a tad sweet for my chocolate tooth, but I can get over that if everything else pulls through. Unfortunately, the main problem I had was with the espresso part. The other espresso chocolate experiences I have had included whole espresso beans within the bar. I remain undecided as to whether I like that or not. I was kind of excited for the possibility that this may not be the case here - however, the execution fell short. Instead of an ideal, truffle-like texture it was more of an espresso gel which I do not enjoy. It was just a little too weird for me. This may be the source of the extra sweetness, as well. Not quite sure.

In any case, I would like to try a plain and simple dark chocolate bar or the one with almonds as I am a HUGE fan of the nut. I will update my review when that happy day arrives...
