Two Ultra-Dark Bars, One Choice
Taza's 95% Wicked Dark bars are made for those who want an intense, barely-sweet chocolate experience. Both the Ginger and Toasted Coconut versions start with the same stone ground 95% dark organic chocolate base, but each adds a distinct twist. The question is which addition works better for your taste.
Both bars are 2.5 oz, 95% dark, and priced at $3.50 (catalog comparison price $6.99). They share the same organic cacao beans and cane sugar base, but the inclusions change the flavor and texture noticeably.
What Each Bar Brings
Here's how the two bars compare on the key factors you care about: ingredients, flavor, texture, and allergens.
- Ingredients: The Ginger bar adds organic candied ginger (organic ginger, organic cane sugar) to the cacao and sugar base. The Toasted Coconut bar includes organic coconut. Both are short, recognizable ingredient lists.
- Flavor Profile: The Ginger bar offers spicy-sweet bursts from crystallized ginger chunks against the fruity, intense cacao. The Toasted Coconut bar brings a tropical, slightly nutty sweetness that complements the dark chocolate without overwhelming it.
- Texture: Both bars have a rustic, stone ground texture. The Ginger bar has crunchy, chewy ginger pieces. The Toasted Coconut bar has tender coconut flakes that add a subtle crunch.
- Allergen Notes: The Toasted Coconut bar contains coconut and may contain traces of tree nuts and sesame seeds. The Ginger bar may contain traces of tree nuts and sesame seeds but does not list coconut as an ingredient. Neither bar is confirmed free of any allergen.

Which Bar Should You Choose?
