Updated! What’s your favorite flavor of Endangered Species Dark Chocolate Bars? 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. So easy in fact, that Tony and I have been buying them for well over a decade in every vegan flavor we can find. We use the excuse that Endangered Species has fair trade and vegan certifications, and they donate 10% of profits to wildlife conservation. But we’re also addicted their consistently good (and affordable) chocolate.

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.
