When does the box ship? Second Monday of the month.
Everything shipped in a plain white box.
The chocolate shipped in an insulated cooler, to prevent melting.
The chocolate was in a Chococurb branded box and placed on ice packs to keep cold.
All the chocolate arrived in a little white box.
Chococurb really doesn't want your chocolate to be damaged, because all the bars were in a bubble envelope, inside the box.
Pitch Dark Jacobsen Pinot Noir Salt Chocolate Bar This bar is made with Willamette valley pinot noir and hand harvested sea salt. This has 73% cacao, making it one of the darkest chocolate bars of the box.
You really don't see the salt until you turn the bar over. I don't think I've had chocolate with so much salt, but it made for a delicious bar.
Dick Taylor Belize Toledo Dark Chocolate Bar This is made with 73% Belize cacao and sugar, using a European process. The bar has a beautiful pattern, but the real treat was the taste. I prefer plain dark chocolate, so ended up being my favorite of the box.
This is a closer look at the pattern on the bar.
Amedei Toscano Blond Chocolate Bar This bar is made with 63% dark chocolate, dried peaches and dried apricots. My husband really enjoyed this one. It's a rich chocolate bar with hints of apricot and peaches.
This is a lighter chocolate than the other bars.
Theo Cinnamon Horchata Milk Chocolate Bar This bar has milk chocolate, cinnamon, crisped rice and crisped quinoa. The texture reminded of a Nestle Crunch, but the taste was far different. I don't remember ever having cinnamon and chocolate together, but it works. This reminded me of a chocolate drizzled churro.
It even looks a bit like a Nestle Crunch bar.
Fran’s Chocolates Macadamia Gold Bar This little bar contains macadamia nuts, caramel and dark chocolate. This was softer than I expected and had a bit more caramel than I preferred. I liked it, but thought it was a bit too sweet.
The bar was about the size of the snack size candy bars.
A look at all the chocolate in the April box.
Final Thought: The April box contained a great combination of flavors. What I really like about this box, is the unique artisan chocolate they send each month. If you really enjoy chocolate, this box may be the one for you. My favorite bar was the Dick Taylor Belize Toledo Dark Chocolate Bar, but I didn't receive a bad bar.
