We four chocolateers at CBTB recently tried a couple of Jade Chocolates<\/a>\u2019<\/strong> snacking chocolates: Green Mango Tiles and Edamame & Chocolate. Both snacks won us over, especially the tiles.<\/p>\n

Pick the mango tiles when you want something warm & chocolate-y.
Pick the edamame when you want something crunchy with a hint of chocolate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chocolate heat<\/h2>\n

\u201cSpicy green mango over bittersweet chocolate,\u201d the product description on the front of the tile package, is truth in advertising. The dried mango is mild, as you would expect from green mango, so it\u2019s the spicy heat and dark chocolate that come to the front in terms of taste, but the mango adds an essential chewiness. The spice isn\u2019t too hot, instead it warms your mouth, which adds nicely to the quality chocolate. It\u2019s delicious. And the tiles are a great snack size. An excellent chocolate treat.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just take our word for it. We heard that they won a 2013 Scovie Award in the Sweet Heat category.<\/p>\n

Crunchy chocolate<\/h2>\n

The Edamame & Chocolate snack is a different animal entirely. Jade dips dry-roasted soybeans in bittersweet chocolate, then rolls them in cocoa powder. The result is reminiscent of chocolate-covered peanuts, but minus any grease from peanut oil. For those of you familiar with mochi<\/em> (rice cakes) or other Japanese confections, the taste might remind you of kinako,<\/em> the tan-colored roasted soy flour that\u2019s sometimes sprinkled over mochi and used in other confections.<\/p>\n

The edamame snacks have an almost smoky taste from the roasting and a good, crunchy texture, but they are not very chocolate-y. They are more of a savory snack, so they would be good when you want a little something that\u2019s crunchy and not too sweet.<\/p>\n

You can order Jade Chocolates online<\/a>; or if you can\u2019t wait for delivery, check their vendors list to see where you can pick them up yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
