This was a box of all treats, no tricks: seasonal flavors, exposed inclusions, and milk chocolate with a classic flavor. So we hope you got your mischievousness out elsewhere. Ready to see what treats we enjoyed this month? Let's run through each bar one by one! Bar A So....yeah. We're not going to go into huge amount of pre-reveal anticipation because this one was pretty easy. As you undoubtedly noticed, the inclusions were stuck to the ...

Bar A This is a dark chocolate bar that features a different kind of subtle sweetness. The chocolate is right in what we consider the sweet spot. It's not too bitter, not too sweet, not too creamy, not too firm, not too soft, not too crunchy...you get the idea. This one's hard to put your finger on exactly what inclusion is lending it's soft, sweet flavor to the bar. Turns out, it's sweet because it IS an ingredient commonly used as a ...
August 2017
It's time to reveal our August 2017 selections! In this box, one bar was a simpleton, another bar had quite the filling, and the third bar incorporated a delicious French dessert. Here's how it all played out: Bar A No frills here -- just dark chocolate and one inclusion, a gentle flavor that lightens up the chocolate and adds a bit of sweetness. It's a fairly basic bar, so we're really just itching to go ahead and show it. So we ...
July 2017
In this box, we took a bit of a healthy angle to show that chocolate doesn't always have to be viewed as an "unhealthy" food. In fact, we believe that certain types of chocolate really are healthy. Plus, it all depends on how you approach it -- an 80% chocolate bar with little added sugar is a whole lot healthier of a dessert option than a hot fudge sundae. However...a lot of you grumbled a bit about the relative lack of tastiness in a ...
June 2017
This was a box of "yets". As in, each bar had one main quality but also one somewhat contrasting feature as well. You'll see what we mean once you start looking through each bar reveal, but consider this month an experience in chocolate juxtaposition and interesting contrasting flavors. First up, we had a limited edition bar from a chocolate maker that loves making bars with interesting inclusions. Bar A We called this one “fruity yet ...

It's that time of the month again -- Mystery Chocolate Box revealing time! Today, we'll be opening up the May 2017 box and showing you what mysterious but delicious chocolates you enjoyed. We actually included some really interesting bars in this box (including a U.S. Mystery Chocolate Box exclusive bar), so we're really excited to go through this box with you. Let's get started. Bar A This bar is what happens when you let a ...

March 2017
Ah March...the season of crazy weather (at least here in North Carolina), NCAA basketball, and the anticipation of the coming spring and summer. One of the primary implications of that being the availability of fresh fruit and vegetables, which we always eagerly anticipate. So, in celebration of the impending arrival of fresh fruits coming to a farmer's market near you, we decided to feature fruits in each of the three bars. Which fruits ...
February 2017
Hey there! We just wrapped up another very successful Mystery Chocolate Box and we're ready to share it with you. Let's see what February 2017's box is all about. Bar A Most of you probably scratched your heads with this bar. And yes, we admit, this was a very tough one, for two reasons... Reason #1: The inclusion wasn't a very strong flavor, although you could definitely taste something that told you that it wasn't a plain dark ...
January 2017
First Mystery Chocolate Box of the year! (Now THAT'S the best way to start the new year off, if you ask us.) We put a super fun box together for you this month, and hope you loved it! Tell us all about it, of course, if you'd like. We always love hearing from you! Alright, no further ado. Let's tear into this box: Bar A The maker of this bar had their debut in a Mystery Chocolate Box last year, and we liked their bar so much ...
