If you’re a dark chocolate lover like me, let me introduce you to one of the best cacao dark chocolate bars I’ve ever tried: the Blue Stripes Whole Cacao Dark Chocolate Bar in Hazelnut Butter. At 70% cacao, it’s perfectly rich and indulgent without being overly bitter, and the hazelnut butter flavor takes it to another level. Seriously, this stuff is amazing—I’m not just saying that.

As someone with celiac, finding gluten-free treats is non-negotiable, and this bar checks that box. Plus, it’s packed with added vitamins and nutrients, which is a win for me since I’m always trying to be mindful of my health. Each serving (half the bar) is 190 calories, but you really don’t need to eat the whole thing. A single square is super satisfying, which is great because I definitely have a sweet tooth.

What I love most, aside from the flavor, is the nutritional boost it offers: Calcium, fiber, iron, potassium, vitamin E, biotin, magnesium, copper, and more. It’s not just chocolate—it’s chocolate with benefits!

Now for the downside (because I keep it real): the wrapper is ridiculously hard to open. Like, way harder than it should be. I don’t want to work this much for my chocolate! But once you get to the good stuff, it’s 100% worth the struggle.

If you’re looking for a rich, flavorful dark chocolate bar that feels indulgent yet nourishing, this one’s a must-try. Just have scissors ready for the wrapper!

Rating: 4/5 (Knocking off a point for the wrapper struggle!)

Can’t believe it’s only 8g sugar when I eat the whole bar. Yup. I can’t not finish the bar. Terrific flavor and texture. Cheaper here than at my local grocery. Shipped quick in sturdy cooler package.

This chocolate is simply incredible. Melts in your mouth but also with satisfying crunchiness from the nuts. Knowing that it’s made from the whole bean and is healthy is a plus.

This is my favorite chocolate. It's dark but the hazelnut gives it enough sweetness for me. I eat one bar every day, often for breakfast. The mineral content is incredible and the ingredients are pure and clean. The price is a bargain for this quality - I recently went to Peru and paid more than double for gourmet chocolate that was way below Blue Stripes.

Great chocolate!
