Indulgence Chocolatiers: 54% Cocoa Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt

For most people, one bar of salted chocolate would be enough for one purchase.

I am not most people. I am me. And I need my salt and chocolate. So despite selecting the 41% Cocoa Milk Chocolate with Sea Salt when I spied bars by Indulgence Chocolatiers in Milwaukee, I knew I also needed the 54% Cocoa Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt.

It’s obvious. If you try the milk version, you need to try the dark version.

As with the milk chocolate version, the aroma is faint, but there is a bit of an earthy scent that comes from the unwrapped bar.

And, as with the milk chocolate version, it is difficult to tease out distinct chocolate flavors because the coarse sea salt dominates the taste. There’s a hint of nuttiness evident, so there’s more chocolate flavor in this version, but it’s also a tad drier than the milk chocolate version, which I think I slightly favor. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed snacking on this combination of dark chocolate and sea salt.

Do you think salt pairs better with dark or milk chocolate?
