These bars boast a rich and robust flavor profile, derived from high-quality cocoa beans sourced responsibly from selected farms. The texture is typically smooth, providing a satisfying melt-in-the-mouth experience, yet each bar retains a distinct crunch from the inclusion of whole nuts or fruit pieces. A standout feature is the absence of dairy and animal products, replaced with alternatives such as coconut milk, making them suitable for those following a vegan diet.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"organic-guatemalan-70-dark-chocolate-bar","title":"Organic Guatemalan 70% Dark Chocolate Bar","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaine's First Bean to Bar Chocolate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuatemalan 70% Dark Chocolate: The flavor profile is complex and sophisticated with distinct citrus notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertified Organic by MOFGA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFacts\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBixby Chocolate imports Lachua cacao beans from Guatemala.
