Rawthentic Chocolate

So, I’ve only tried samples so far but they are absolutely delicious. All the chocolate is vegan, except for a couple selections with honey (which is also my complain since when I asked she said «all are vegan unless you don’t eat honey. Again, honey is not vegan, period). That aside, rich, creamy, decadent raw chocolate creations that would satisfy any sweet tooth.

This morning I bought the honey vanilla and cayenne rush bars and they are fantastic. You can taste each type of chocolate that they make and these two were awesome. It’s hard to find high-​quality chocolate in Halifax that’s not the mass produced variety. Although on the pricier side, these guys are now in my top three!

This is definitely the best dark chocolate I have ever tasted… and without sugar! Most dark chocolate tastes bitter, and is hard and chalky — this is smooth, yummy richness that just slides down and fills your body with an anti-​oxident, endorphin glow.
And then there’s the fudge — OMG! This makes all other «sugar» fudges seem like garbage. I can’t get enough and the cool part is a piece of fudge gives you so much energy from the amazing ingredients its the perfect runners food, fill in for busy days or a pre-​night out energizer.
Can’t wait to get more… especially now that you can buy online so I don’t have to get to the market every week.

I love chocolate, but can’t have any with gluten or dairy. As someone who longingly stares at chocolate bars I can’t have at grocery checkout counters, finding the Rawthentic Chocolate vendor at the market was a very exciting food experience.
They offer samples of all their products, so you can get a taste of the more unique items that are all surprisingly delicious, although the names and mixin’s might initially throw you for a loop. My favorite is the plain bars; they are just so darn good.
I often walk away with 2 large bars, with the intent to savor them throughout the week. Let’s just say I never get too many days along before they are gone!

I purchased some Rawthentic for the first time at The Grainery on Agricola Street. The idea of chocolate treats with health benefits is undeniable for a choc-​o-​holic such as myself. And the purchase proved to be a good one…
Rawthentic is a smart brand that reaffirms the healthy side of a sweet tooth. It is made from raw caoco beans– the world’s #1 antioxidant– and proposes a lengthy list of health related perks. We Westerners are trained to associate chocolate as a no-​no, but all in moderation, Chocolate is scientifically tested to be an aid for happiness, mood consistency, and the functioning of the heart and brain. Being smart with sweets can have its advantages.
Most importantly, the stuff is delicious. Its more bitter than your milk chocolate fix, but I’ve found my taste to become more acquired to the dark through time. Nowadays I am strictly a dark chocolate gal and have lost my taste for the milk chocolate mix.
Rawthentic is available at the market and The Grainery Co-​op. (And likely other local places around the city as well!) Bars, balls, truffles, fudge, macaroons– its all about richness, but not at the cost of your health. Justified!

My favorite here was the coconut chocolate, it was good, hard to believe it is actually good for you. Yes this is the Healthy Chocolate.
So you can eat without feeling any guilt.
There is several selections to choose from, the other one I liked was the Orange Chocolate. They do have samples however they disappear as fast as the girl can cut them.

Just tried their honey-​cashew raw bar and it is insane good. It tastes like chocolate, but chocolate that’s made with real stuff. The regular bars (in any flavor) are my favorite of the product line.

Raw chocolate is a great antioxidant — good for your heart, your brain and everything else. So it’s a good thing that Rawthentic Chocolate makes such tasty treats with organic cacao beans and other incredibly healthy and raw ingredients.
You can find them on Saturday at the Halifax Farmers Market, in the same area as Julien’s Bakery, plus a bunch of other shops around town. I find it a terrific treat to get me through the crowds at the market. And I don’t even have to feel guilty.
