We ended September with a post on chocolate and begin October and the last quarter of the year with a chocolate review. The wife brought home a couple of bars of dark chocolate from Marks & Spencer. I was not expecting much though I wanted this to be a good bitter bar. Not many chocolates that we have tasted with greater than 70% cocoa were comparable to the Valrhona's and Stella's that I have featured in this blog. Marks & Spencer's Intense Dark Chocolate contains 85% cocoa solids and comes in packaging that to me resembles gift wrapping.

The verdict is that it is smooth dark chocolate. While it is not completely surprising considering it has the Marks & Spencer brand, I still did not expect that it would be just right in terms of bitterness and sweetness at 85% cocoa. At 175 PHP (around 3.89 USD) for a 100g bar, it is a reasonably priced, very good quality dark chocolate. It is definitely a bar we will definitely buy again whenever we happen to be at Marks & Spencer.
