Green & Black's Organic Ginger Chocolate

I must confess to having a rather sweet tooth, and enjoy any confectionary that my vegetarian diet allows. I have limited self control when it comes to chocolate, so I tend to not buy it too often, to prevent overindulgence. Whilst I love chocolate, I always feel a bit yuck after consuming an ordinary bar of chocolate, which leaves me wondering why I still continue consuming them.

When it comes to chocolate my preference has to be dark chocolate. The rich taste and the fact that it is an antioxidant makes it ever more appealing. As it is rich, it lasts much longer, too. Only a small amount is required to fulfill that chocolate craving, and it leaves me feeling happy afterwards. Good quality dark chocolate is a bit of a treat for me. With the various flavours that are now available, I’m spoilt for choice. Recently, I was tempted by the Green & Black’s Organic Ginger chocolate.

I love both dark chocolate and ginger, although in small quantities. I thought this would be a winning combination and looked forward to trying my treat, which is made even better, as I don’t have to share being the only dark chocolate lover in the house. The packaging alone gives me that sense of quality, and the paper wrapper is ideal for wrapping back over the bar to keep it fresh.

The chocolate is rich in colour with 60% cocoa content, just how I like it. Breaking a couple of segments from the bar reveals the small ginger crystals within. It looks delicious, and it certainly tastes that way, too. The dark chocolate has that rich flavour that is perfect, and the warmth of the ginger comes through nicely and makes for a delightful combination. The ginger gives it a slightly crunchy texture which is welcomed. The ginger taste lingers for some time after, too.

With it being rather rich in flavour only a couple of segments are needed, and I couldn’t consume more than that in one sitting. I have found this to be a tasty treat that I will purchase again in the future. At around £2.00 for a 100g bar it offers good value for money for a tempting treat. Organic, fair-trade chocolate that is suitable for vegetarians.
