Antidote Chocolate Review and our February Hatefest!

My Dear Sillies,

Time for a chocolate review. This Antidote chocolate, tagged "chocolate that loves you back", contains anise seeds and sun-dried tomato. Hmm, interesting. Would you try it?

Well, I did, and I did it for YOU. The bar's 70 percent cacao and relatively low in sugar (24 grams). Marketed as "artisan" and made in Ecuador, one Antidote bar will cost you approximately 12 USD. 

I lucked out! I hadn't noticed the price, and there wasn't a price on it. The lovely checker decided to charge me $4.99. Woohoo. 

My critique? Well, it tasted sour and plastic-y at first. But I enjoyed a sweet and smooth aftertaste. The anise and tomato don't over power the candy; it's a well blended mix. So, yeah, decent. Yet I still find it outrageously priced, unless you're lucky like me. 

All in all, I didn't love it. It didn't love me back. 

I'll give it a 6 out of 10.

NEXT: It's February. We know what that means. Get your creative juices flowing for Life by Chocolate's annual Valentine's Hatefest. 

Post an anti-Valentine's Day slogan, graphic, haiku or whatever in my comments section. Or post it to your blog and reference it here. 

You'll vote on the hate you love the most. Our winner will receive loads of attention here, at the very least. So even if you've won in the past, HRH, enter again this year. Only one entry per customer please. Ready, set, show us your V Day hate!
