Cacao Atlanta Debuts the Love Chocolate Bar

Fact or fiction?

1. You heart chocolate.
2. And it’s good for you.
3. And your sex life and fiber intake. And it ain’t so bad on your skin, either.

It’s all true. If you’re talking about Cacao’s new Love Bar.

Owner Kristen Hard has made the transition from master chocolatier to producer — roasting, grinding, and aging premium Ecuadorian Criollo beans into final product perfection.

Handle with care: This is not your granny’s Mr. Goodbar. The glossy little wedges make a nice snap when broken. Take a bite, chew slightly, and let it linger in the mouth to soften. They’re made from 70 percent cocoa and pure raw cane sugar, which means a smooth intensity and fluttery flush that’s meant to be part of the fun.

Don’t snicker.

Available at Cacao Atlanta, 312c North Highland Avenue (404-221-2626 or cacaoatlanta.com).
