Organic chocolate?

25 Nov

In the spirit of Halloween, we had a chocolate tasting between the famous chocolate company, Hershey’s, and an organic producer, Endangered Species. We filled out tasting sheets and evaluated the different tastes between the four chocolates—milk Hershey’s, special dark Hershey’s, Endangered Species milk chocolate, and Endangered Species dark chocolate. After years and years of trick-or-treating, Hershey’s was a classic taste, while Endangered Species proved to be…different. I love chocolate, and I think the reason why I love Hershey’s is because it is over processed with sugar, while Endangered Species promotes their natural taste. However, their “natural taste” was anything but sweet, I think the word I used on our tasting sheets was, unpleasant. While this class has persuaded a lot of my food options, and pushed me towards organic alternatives, I think I’m going to keep buying Hershey’s—since the best part of chocolate is that it’s sweet and sugary.
