Mocha Hot Cocoa Chocolate Style Bar by Lily's Sweets | Stevia Sweetened, No Added Sugar, Low-Carb, Keto-Friendly | 70% Cocoa | Fair Trade, Gluten-Free & Non-GMO | 2.8 ounce, 12-Pack…

IMHO this is excellent!People complaining about the "gritty" texture must not like dark chocolate covered coffee beans. That is basically what this is. To me, the addition of the ground coffee beans is a plus.The product description should make people aware of the coffee beans in the chocolate to avoid the complaints. But really, this is called "Mocha" which is coffee.Be grateful for the additional fiber you get!

I love Lily chocolate bars. The selection inside Whole Foods has decreased so when I saw an online sale of Lily “Mocha Hot Cocoa Extra Dark Chocolate bars, I bought a twelve-pack box. This was a mistake. This product is not equal to other Lily products. The texture is dry. The flavor is weak.The texture of lily’s Coconut Dark Chocolate bars, 55% cocoa, is the smoothest because of the coconut milk fat, as well as the lower cocoa content. The Almond Dark Chocolate bars are also 55% cocoa and have a fabulous smooth texture.But the Extremely Dark Chocolate bars are 85% cocoa and have a great, smooth texture.So what’s up with the Mocha Hot Cocoa extra dark chocolate bars? I think have concluded are old and have been stored improperly. The expiration on the label says 020624AC. This would indicate a pull date of Feb. 6, 2024, two months from now.Bottom line, don’t buy this flavor even if you love mocha! You will be disappointed. Also, it’s better to buy your Lily bars inside a Whole Foods.

I bought these not realizing that they were dark coffee chocolate. When it said hot cocoa, I assumed it was a milk chocolate or at the very least just 60% cocoa mass. I just saw the lower price and because I like Lily chocolate, I ordered without examining the outside wrapper very closely. Consequently, I was surprised by the intense dark chocolate coffee flavor. I will find a way to sweeten them up, even if I must remake them into a tastier version. It pays to examine outside packaging as thoroughly as possible. Although, I you like dark chocolate with a hint of coffee, this is a winner!

Great price, shipped quickly, mocha chocolate bars taste great!!

It’s not fair really, it’s just my personal taste. The product is 100% quality, but it’s got these hard things in it that feel like coffee grounds. I’m guessing that’s the extra dark cocoa? I actually prefer milk chocolate so why I thought I’d like this is beyond me. But when they say EXTRA DARK you really should believe them! It’s so bitter, dry and dark. If you’re into that sort of thing, you’re probably going to love these.

I love most of the Lily's chocolates on offer so when I saw the Mocha I was excited to try it.This is a very brittle, very "dry", and very gritty (from coffee grounds) bar. Almost a waxy mouthfeel to me. It wasn't very pleasant to eat right out of the package.However, it made a heavenly ganache that made absolutely lovely truffles. I used heated a bit of canned coconut milk and melted the chocolate into that, added a tiny bit more vanilla and stevia, and mix/mix/mix then let it set up. Rolled some into balls coated with cocoa powder and made molded filled chocolates with the rest (the outer shells made with regular Lily's Dark)

Updating this review to express great appreciation for the insulated packaging which allowed product to be delivered intact (not a melted mess) in our RARE 75 degree weather in San Francisco. And as stated in earlier review, I LOVE this product! Thanks!!Must be personal preference, but I absolutely LOVE this Mocha Hot Chocolate bar. The "mocha" (um, coffee) is awesomely strong, just the way I like my black coffee drink. (Since I drink decaf coffee, the flavor is key for me, otherwise it's just brown water.) And I don't understand reviewers' comments about lack of "Hot Cocoa" flavor. This IS a chocolate bar after all; isn't a hot cocoa drink basically a chocolate drink? (Hence this is your cocoa drink in bar form, right?) But to each his/her own. I absolutely love it. I've tried other flavors and this is my favorite. Bought a 12-pack after trying one bar bought separately. My only concern is how much caffeine is in a serving or bar. So I've emailed Lily's directly to inquire about that. Hope they respond. I'm just sensitive to caffeine, and a little can affect my sleep. But timed, strategically, I plan to enjoy this big time—as I already am! And yes, the bar has the "gritty" bits of coffee beans (I guess that's what they are). But I like it, and it adds to MY enjoyment, anyway, the way nut bits might be in certain chocolate bars. Lastly, if you like dark chocolate covered espresso beans, you'd probably like this. It's a bar variation of that. Cheers!

It should read "contains coffee" in big letters on the label. STRONG coffee flavor, actual coffee grounds in the product. I was expecting a "hot chocolate" flavor. The flavor is coffee with some chocolate.In the fine print on the ingredients "coffee" is listed.Also, for those of you who do not like/cannot have caffeine, a must avoid.Barring the misleading packaging, the product is of very good quality.
