Quality 10.3 / 20
Bonfire chocolate. Whether roasted long ‘n strong or short ‘n torched, this just burnt beyond recognition. If a campfire sing-a-long, the sticks holding the marshmallows would be incinerated along with them (perhaps the tents too).
Nothing left but to call the sanitation dept.
Sorry.
In actuality, stovetop pan-roasted; toasted to a charred crisp for easy peeling. A method reinforced by glowing Yelp! reviews. So much for Yelp! reviews. Seriously, this isn't chocolate, it's charcoal.
(10 points in this Quality Section a homage to decent if desecrated cocoa beans from Uncommon Cacao.)
INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, sugar
