I found the Seattle Chocolates Coconut Macaroon Bar at a local health food super market and after trying their Ranier Cherry bar a while ago I was excited to give another of their bars a try. Being that I love dark chocolate and coconut combinations I couldn’t resist the Coconut Macaroon bar.

The Seattle Chocolates Coconut Macaroon Bar is a particularly pleasant bar that holds up the name of Seattle Chocolates!
Taste:
The Seattle Chocolates Coconut Macaroon Bar comes wrapped in a paper foil envelope within a color coded green striped sleeve featuring the Seattle Chocolates logo. Upon opening the bar I am greeted with the scent of rich and dark chocolate. The bar itself is decorated with swirls.
As I take my first bite of the Seattle Chocolates Coconut Macaroon Bar I notice how quickly the bar is melting due to its truffle interior. The thickness of the bar, however, is perfect and provides a delicious sinking feeling as I bite in to each piece. The flavor of the chocolate is the first thing I notice, a deep and sensuous dark chocolate that contains no trace of bitterness and just a hint of sea salt. As I chew I finally notice the small shreds of coconut within the bar and at first I am disappointed at how few pieces of coconut there are but realize that they add just the perfect amount of crispness to a light dark chocolate that is so soft. The bar offers a perfect combination of sweet and it is tempered by the addition of sea salt. The final flavor is deep but still manages to be well rounded and not overly sweet.
The aftertaste of the Seattle Chocolates Coconut Macaroon Bar is a sweeter dark chocolate flavor which lasts on the palate.
Ingredients:

The Bottom Line:
