What struck me first about Swallow My Words’ chocolate was the
elegant design and packaging. There is
just something extra fun about a perfectly square hunk of chocolate housed
inside a perfectly square box (or is that just me?). There is also a small window on the front package
so you can take a peak at the deliciousness before opening.
Another unique part about Swallow My Words, as the company
name refers to, is that the back of the chocolate can serve as a note, a love
letter, or a declaration. In essence, a
Swallow My Words slab is an edible gift and card all in one. One good thing to know is that the message must be
shorter that 70 characters for a regular-sized piece.
Of course the real appeal for me isn’t the message on the
chocolate, it’s the Belgian chocolate itself and the fun selection
toppings and flavors. The slabs that I tried were
the 1 AM and the Muchacha (try saying that three times fast). Both were lovely with their mix of 57%
semi-dark Belgium chocolate, dried fruits, and specialty caramels.
I thought for sure that I would be most attracted to the
caramel aspect of the slabs, since I love caramel on almost anything. The fun surprise for me, however, was the bold flavor
of the dried fruit, especially the dried cherries in the 1 AM. The bananas and candied pineapple also
provide a nice sweet balance to the coconut and chocolate of the Muchacha.
Overall I really enjoyed my Swallow My Words treats made by the “Mad Chocolatiers!" I can't wait to try some of their other specialties, including slab cups, crispy rice balls, and truffles. So tell me, what’s your favorite chocolate to swallow? It just takes a few clicks to find out!
