Try This: Vivani's Bitter Chocolate with Chili

Life is full of surprises. When you think you have it all figured out, in a second something happens. Then you realize that you do not really have anything figured out and life gets a little brighter.
This weekend I came across Vivani's Ecuador Bitter Chocolate with Chili. This is truly an amazing and indulging product. The experience begins when you first notice the product. The packaging is exotic; it announces that this is an organic chocolate that was made with cocoa beans from Ecuador. This indulges your mind by inviting you to travel to an exotic destination by trying this product. The packaging is inviting you to connect with a distant and exotic place. If you choose to accept the invitation, the product does not fall short of any expectations. The chocolate is dark and bitter without being too violent to your mouth. The taste is natural, raw and has the perfect combination of bitterness with a bit of sugar that makes for the perfect dark chocolate.
It is when you think that you have this chocolate figured out that something happens. In a second, a mild trace of chili appears. It is strong enough to be noticed, but not strong enough to bother your senses or make you want to do any of those crazy things people do when eating spicy foods. This chocolate is truly remarkable. It takes you somewhere exotic and in an instant, it reminds you that life is full of surprises.

That's really interesting! Just the other week I bought some bittersweet chocolate with hot chilis from the lady who sells chocolate at the local Farmer's Market, and it was FANTASTIC!

What an interesting concidence to see the same thing being marketed in the mainstream. What store did you find it at?
