Trader Joe's triple pack of 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate


I love the triple pack of 72% dark chocolate bars from Trader Joe’s. It is my go to bar.  It has a nice high percentage of dark chocolate, it has a great price, one bar equals one serving, and most important of all it has a great taste. I tend to stock up on these bars with each trip to Trader Joe's as I eat this bar on a regular basis.  I give it 5 stars!

Rating system


Rating system

  • Love it. Stock up on it! (5/5 stars)
  • Great, would buy again. (4/5 Stars)
  • Good, occasional buy. (3/5 Stars)
  • So-so wouldn't be my first or second choice. (2/5 Stars)
  • Would not buy again. Not my taste. (1/5 Stars)

Trying to keep it simple with the rating system. Basically it all comes down to how likely I would be to purchase the same chocolate bar again.

First post!


I haven't always liked dark chocolate, like most kids, I only cared about milk chocolate, but as I got older it was like a switch was flipped and I suddenly was obsessed with dark chocolate and disliked milk chocolate. My addiction started with the Dove dark chocolate bars, I loved their taste and smooth texture. I soon found myself purchasing a dark chocolate bar with each visit to the grocery store. With such a huge variety of dark chocolate bars I was excited to try them all.  One day my wife pointed out how I was always eating dark chocolate and it made me a little self-conscious. Was I eating too much? Is it normal to love chocolate this much? I felt like I needed to justify my daily habit. So I started to tell people I was doing research for a dark chocolate bar blog. Having this story behind me just fueled my obsession and I started to buy more and more bars...but the blog never came and the empty wrappers started to pile up. It has been about a year now, and I am finally getting to it. So I hope you enjoy reading about my dark chocolate escapades.
