- Naga Bar: Milk chocolate with coconut and curry powder. The coconut provides a nice crunch to this chocolate, and I find it very creamy.
- Red Fire Bar: Ancho and Chipotle chiles and cinnamon make this dark chocolate bar kind of spicy. Has a good kick.
- Blood Orange Caramel Bar: I found this combination really weird. I didn't like it much; the orange and caramel were pretty overpowering.
- Cherry Rooibos Bar: This sweet, delicate milk chocolate bar tastes of tea and cherries.
- Peanut Butter Bonbon Bar: The peanut butter in this bar is kind of overpowering and not sweet at all. The taste is good, in the end, but takes some getting used to. Too salty.
