Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: This has a very bitter taste and the orange flavour is intense. Lovers of dark chocolate and orange will be elated! Personally, I'm not a citrus fan, so I wasn't overly impressed. The texture is smooth and it is a pretty creamy chew. There's a good snap when you bite into it but it's not too crumbly. I used most of the bar for a frosting and I'd buy this again (only on sale!) for baking because the Camino brand is just aweome!

Although high in calories, this is a great source of fibre, protein and iron and I loved baking with this chocolate. Desserts are my weakness, so when I find ingredients that actually have clean ingredients and good nutrition, it makes me feel way less guilty about stuffing my face!
I melted this bar with coconut milk and used it to make a frosting for a very sweet brownie cake I baked. The bitterness balanced out the intense sweetness of the cake...perfect combination!
