It’s hard to pick just one, isn’t it Not all of their dark chocolate varieties are non-dairy and vegan, but fortunately, most are. And they are very easy to find in stores.

SIMPLY THE BEST!
I LOVE these chocolate bars not only for the delicious taste, but because they are vegan and the company donates to wildlife conservation!
I’m looking forward to trying all the flavors. I have enjoyed every single one I’ve tried so far! So thankful for a company that strives for excellence and gives back!
Packaging, cause, ingredients, taste, price, texture, nutrition.. All PERFECT!
Everything is nailed, (except for a little bit of in-store accessibility on the variants but I’m sure we’ll get there someday) so I have a few recommendations for future flavors that may also boost popularity: raspberry, banana, strawberry, white, pistachio, matcha, cookie/cream, and milk chocolate with the fillings or chunks (such as rice/nuts). That’s just for the bars, but if you ever choose to go further, I’d recommend making a chocolate spread or hot cocoa mix… Thanks ESC for supporting so many important things and making it this far, it’s really amazing and makes me very happy!!
Good variety, affordable, and tasty
We buy this brand often and love the wide variety of flavors. It’s fun to pick them up based on mood. But the ones we go to most often are the Forest Mint, Blueberries, and Cacao Nibs (for dark cravings). In terms of mainstream brands, the dark chocolate in Endangered Species isn’t as smooth and creamy as Chocolove. But it still hits the spot and has a rustic cacao taste (which I sometimes crave).
Great taste, but uses soy reduction, and might not even use Cacao
Most high quality chocolate will list some level of raw cacao as the first ingredient. Unfortunately, these bars state: “Bittersweet chocolate”. That can be anything, so I wonder if anyone actually verifies that the percentage on the front equates to cacao in the product. Tastes too good to not be false advertising.
Good and guilt-free
I tried the Eagle bar, and it was delicious! I am so delighted to find a tasty, fair-trade salted chocolate.
