Here's a first take on the chocolates of Co Chocolat. "High on Happy" is a dark chocolate of single origin cacao from Agusan Del Sur in northeast Mindanao. It is vegan and halal. The latter I am sure of because it is being marketed in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and one of the owners being Muslim.

| Details at the back of the box includes date of production and expiry date. At the lower part in the photo is info on the location of the farm (I assume this to be a barangay). |

| Well-designed box |

The chocolate is fine but I thought the coconut sugar is evident in the taste, and that made it a bit on the rough side as far as chocolates go. There is still room for improvement here as the goal is to come up with a chocolate that's par with the really good ones from abroad. I will soon post again on another chocolate from this batch we received from our friends.
