It's a new chocolate. My inner chocolate-snob is appeased again, by this little gem:
DAGOBA chocolate
And, no, it's not just because its name is remarkably similar to a far-distant swamp planet. It is just about as close to a local chocolate as you can get; all the beans come from the same farm, and it's Fair Trade Certified, so the guilt level doesn't go up (anymore than just eating chocolate will bring it up. It is rich. It has a distinctive flavor, slightly sweet, very smooth.
If you can find it in a retail store, go get one. The Merc has them, and at about $2 a pop they're reasonable, if you are in the market for something far better than Hershey's. If your tastes in chocolate run towards regular candy bars, you might not want this. Or you might be pleasantly surprised (and have American chocolate ruined for you forever).
