JUDGES' COMMENTS

FAVORITES

  • "7th Heaven's Dubai Style bar had great taste, texture, and excellent chocolate. Loved it!
  • Delysia's Mole de Oaxaca truffles are perfectly piquant and would make a delicious and spectacular finish for a special Mexican meal. "
  • Delysia Mole oaxaca
  • Delysia Mole de Oaxaca and Chocolate Passion Double Yuzu
  • Panache Chocolatier Black Pepper and Pistachio Bar
  • Delysia Chocolatier Molé de Oaxaca chocolate truffle
  • Always tough to pick my favorite when there are so many possibilities I felt in the mood for Bon Fiction Godavari Chocolate lost in Orange Haze
  • Be happy gooey caramel
  • Panache Tropical Yuzu
  • Lohcally Artisan Chocolates - Blood Orange Solo
  • 7th Heaven Oat Milk Caramelized Coconut Cups
  • Puma Dorado, because its small-farm source is intriguing, it contains gold electrolytes, and its richness suggests absolute purity.

COMMENTS

  • Chocolate Passion's Coconut Guava Chocolate has very distinct flavors and an excellent combination.
  • Ingredients in this category are fabulous, and the flavors are intense. Citrus flavors were the highlight this year. Textures were varied from gritty and chalky to oily.
  • Bon Fiction has really pretty packaging
  • Lohcally have the most beautiful chocolates
  • Chocolates Passion Mango Sticky Rice has a truly fascinating array of ingredients. This was a bold choice which pays off -- the slightly starchy rice is not overpowering but instead is perfectly balanced with its deeply sweet and engaging fellow elements. It's a well-thought-out product with, I think, amazing results.
