these are very, very good. take a look at the previous offer when the owner stopped by to chat. highly recommended.
the cinnamon is not overpowering, just a subtle flavor that you might not even pick out as cinnamon if you didn’t know it. the hot pepper is very hot and very delicious. my favorite is the sea salt, but I enjoyed them all.
Looks like the bars are $2.99 a piece at their website, for a total cost of $29.90 for 10 of them, with free shipping. http://rainrepublic.com/ The free shipping over there means you’re actually paying more at Woot if you only order 1. You’d have to order 2 or 3 to actually save on the price per unit.
I’ve purchased these, the cinnamon/ almond was my favorite. That being said my wife didn’t like the cinnamon, she also isn’t crazy about cinnamon, and because the texture of the cinnamon gave the chocolate a somewhat abrasive texture. I don’t know how else to describe it other than a fine gritiness in otherwise smooth chocolate.
I bought these before Christmas for stocking stuffers and they are still with us, not being eaten. Spouse complained that the chocolate was almost waxy and he didn’t care for the texture.
