Inedible. The only good thing about this bar is the title.

A shame really because this contains a mix of cacáos that intrigue.

Where the Masts launched their flagship Brooklyn Blend & christened it to ride the wave of that face-fro magnet across from Manhattan, Barsmiths™, thinking big, covers the entire Western Hemisphere in naming theirs The Americas Blend. A bar containing cocoas from the Amazon (Peru), Mesoamerica (Nicaragua) & the Caribbean (Grenada).

But upon further inquiry, Barsmiths™ claims that its pet, Toby, in a variation of 'the dog ate my homework', took ill in the storage room & lost his load which required some heavy cleaning solvents to mop up.

In the scheme of catastrophes, this ranks pretty low but serves as an object lesson in how not to store cacáo nuts. Their lipids in particular readily absorb odors. Even if Toby never sickened the batch, this pile would've tasted of canine perfume.

Either way, an odor eater now consuming whoever ingests it.

INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, sugar
