Hershey's Extra Dark 60% Cacao Bar

This chocolate would make great cookies!
I have had this bar just laying around for about three months now. Every time I would think about trying it something else always seemed more interesting or tasty. Today however, it just looked pretty good. I wanted something strong and a little bitter.

Taste wise the bar reminded me of a more bitter Nestle Toll House Morsel. Is has a nice crisp snap. Because of the high cacao content there is of course not a
smooth melt. The pieces more or less crumble in your mouth.

Honestly, this is not a bar I would reach for for snacking purposes or chocolate cravings- but it would be a good choice for baking or for garnishing.

And yes, of course because it is dark chocolate it has many health benefits so that is another point in it's favor!

Snapple Antioxidant Water Defy- Raspberry Acerola

First I would like to sat thank you to Chessia with Snapple for giving me the chance to review several of the new Antioxidant Waters
I am a huge fan of Snapple so I was pretty excited to hear from them.

The new Antioxidant Water line contain vitamins and electrolytes. This particular water was part of the Defy group and have vitamins A & E as well as grape seed extract.

The flavor I tried was Raspberry Acerola. OK, I admit I had to Google Acerola. According to the Wiki entry they are a kind of cherry like plant that are well known for being very high in vitamin C.

The flavor of the water actually kind of reminded me of a weaker, more sour version of raspberry Kool-Aide. It has a nice sour taste without being bitter.
It was smooth and easy to drink. I liked that unlike some of the flavored waters out there it didn't seem to be sickeningly sweet from artificial sweeteners. All in all it was pretty refreshing.
