Super Fudge
by Love Street
Impact
‘Forest-garden’ has been a buzz byword circulating in the cacáo world for treating the Amazon basin as a sustainable backyard farm. This bar borrows from that sense by another sort of coupling - ‘desert-jungle’ – simultaneously arid & wildly lush.

Flavor 38.1 / 50
coconut butter -> walnut -> pecan -> maguey / vanilla -> crosscut by fresh cocoa -> dried maple; astringent green after-length (banana & mango peels)
Quality 17 / 20
Good / much better integration than its 70% brethren as coconut ably unifies the blend, incorporating cinnamon & cayenne (for all those nut tones), then somewhat hiding maca (hardly a flavorful additive, presumably included for its functional food strength). A nice showing of simultaneous contrast between acrid-&-unctuous / taste-to-texture. More proof that raw chocolate is starting to come around.
