Pascha Chocolate Bars aren’t just Black and White

They started out with a pure, free-from, dark chocolate formula. But over the years, Pascha Chocolate has populated their collection with a diverse group of dark and rice milk varieties. Their vegan chocolate bar options range from Black with 100% cacao to creamy White with 48% cacao.

Pascha Chocolate Bars Tasting Notes & Information

We’ve tried a handful of Pascha Chocolate Bars, and I’ve included our notes with the corresponding varieties below. We still haven’t tried their white chocolate, dairy-free milk chocolate, or sugar-free flavors. Be sure to leave your own rating and review below if you try any of the following!

48% Cacao Vegan White Chocolate Alternative

Their vegan white chocolate is also available in smaller bars and as chocolate chips.

Ingredients: organic cocoa butter, organic cane sugar, organic tapioca starch, organic rice syrup solids, organic rice maltodextrin, organic vanilla and salt.

Nutrition (per ounce): 170 calories, 13g fat, 13g carbs, 0g fiber, 8g sugars (includes 8g added sugars), 0g protein.*

55% Cacao Dark Chocolate

This is a very milky semi-sweet, but without a speck of milk (of any kind). Our resident teenager agreed that this was an impressive dairy-free find. And even more excited to learn that it was peanut- and nut-safe. This chocolate is also available as chocolate chips.

Ingredients: all organic : chocolate liquor, cane sugar, cocoa butter

Nutrition (per ounce): 150 calories, 10g fat, 15g carbs, 1g fiber, 12g sugars (includes 12g added sugars), 1g protein.*

55% Cacao Organic Dark Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs

Cacao nibs are usually a give or take thing for me, but I really liked this Pascha Chocolate bar. The sweet creamy chocolate generously dotted with crunchy bittersweet cacao was a heavenly dessert-like treat.

Ingredients: all organic : cane sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, cocoa nibs, vanilla

Nutrition (per ounce): 150 calories, 10g fat, 14g carbs, 2g fiber, 12g sugars (includes 12g added sugars), 2g protein.*

70% Cacao Organic Dark Chocolate

Pascha kept the smooth and creamy consistency with this bar, but the 70% cacao shines through with a hint of bitterness, particularly in the aftertaste. I loved the flavor, but confess that after savoring the 55% bars, this one was a little too sharp in cacao.

Ingredients: all organic : cane sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter

Nutrition (per ounce): 160 calories, 11g fat, 13g carbs, 2g fiber, 8g sugars (includes 8g added sugars), 2g protein.*

70% Cacao Dark Chocolate with Arabica Coffee

Coffee beans are typically categorized into two types: robusta and arabica. Arabica has approximately half as much caffeine as robusta and it tends to have a sweeter, softer taste with more fragrant notes. Some even say that the pleasant acidity of arabica gives it an underlying chocolaty flavor. This might explain why I actually liked this Pascha Chocolate bar even though I’m far from a coffee fan. The coffee taste is pure and potent, but a little more complex than most other java desserts.

Ingredients: all organic :  cocoa liquor, cane sugar, cocoa butter, ground roasted coffee bean and vanilla

Nutrition (per ounce): 170 calories, 12g fat, 12g carbs, 3g fiber, 6g sugars (includes 6g added sugars), 3g protein.*

70% Cacao Sugar-Free Organic Dark Chocolate

This chocolate is also available as chocolate chips.

Ingredients: all organic : chocolate liquor, organic erythritol, organic cocoa butter and organic stevia leaf extract.

Nutrition (per ounce): 160 calories, 11g fat, 13g carbs, 2g fiber, 0g sugars (includes 0g added sugars; 8g sugar alcohol), 2g protein.*

85% Cacao Organic Dark Chocolate

Seventy percent is usually as high in cacao as my taste buds like to go, but, this was pretty good for a super-dark. And contrary to my expectations, there wasn’t a strong bitter aftertaste. The texture did have a slight powdery feel intermixed with the creamy backdrop and this was without a doubt a dark bar. But I could see fans among the pure cacao loving population. This chocolate is also available as chocolate chips.

Ingredients: all organic : cane sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter

Nutrition (per ounce): 160 calories, 12g fat, 10g carbs, 3g fiber, 4g sugars (includes 4g added sugars), 3g protein.*

100% Cacao Sugar-Free Organic Dark Chocolate  With Cocoa Nibs

This chocolate is also available as chocolate chips.

Ingredients: organic chocolate liquor, organic cocoa nibs.

Nutrition (per ounce): 170 calories, 14g fat, 8g carbs, 4g fiber, <1g sugars (includes 0g added sugars), 4g protein.*

My picture shows their old stamp, but the chocolate itself is still the same!

Top 8-free chocolate

Rated 5 out of 5

February 12, 2020

This chocolate far exceeded my expectations. Despite being both dairy-free and soy-free, it’s some of the smoothest, creamiest dark chocolate I’ve ever tasted. It’s a little expensive for my regular chocolate budget (we eat a lot of chocolate in our house!), but I think it’s worth buying on sale or if you need a good allergy-friendly chocolate option.
