I have tried caffeinated chocolates before and absolutely love the concept! If I'm driving, I don't want to flood myself with liquid and have to stop to use the bathroom all the time, so being able to nibble on a small piece of chocolate to get the desired energy boost I need is ideal!
The bottle is small enough that I can fit it in my purse or hiking backpack for a little emergency pick me up. Long drives can be a drag, especially when I'm already tired, so this product is perfect for those occasions! I can snack on a few of these and get a pretty quick pick me up!
Each piece contains 25 mg of caffeine. (3 pieces is the equivalent to a cup of coffee) I actually like the smaller doses because I am sensitive to caffeine. It's not so much that I'm going to feel jittery (as opposed to many energy drinks that contain 250-300 mg of caffeine!!!!!!) and I can control how much I consume at one time. If I'm only in need of a little boost, I can eat 1 or 2 at a time. If I'm really dragging, I can eat all 3!
As for the taste, I was impressed! The candy coating offers a crunchy outside and the chocolate is smooth, rich, bold and delicious. They aren't sweet and do have a slight bitterness to them. They definitely aren't cheap tasting or waxy either! If you are a fan of dark chocolate, you should really enjoy them!
