Moscow Food Co-op Food ReviewChocolate & Coconut
by Vicki Reich, from the July 2005 Newsletter
It started innocently enough. I had just received a box of Sunspire Coconut Haystacks to add to our bulk candy selection. Dani, Laura, and I thought we should try them out just to make sure they tasted okay (they do). Then they wanted to know what the difference was between the Sunspire Haystacks and the Queen Bee Garden Haystacks, so I got one of those to try (they’re really good). Then we started brainstorming about what other chocolate and coconut candy we had in the store and how they might compare in flavor to the Haystacks. I grabbed a Cloud Nine Coconut Bar and sampled that out as well. (I’m sure you’ll be shocked to know that they are good, too.) We were stuck at that point and thought maybe those were the only chocolate-and-coconut candies in the store, but then it came to me and I ran out to the shelf to get a box of Yachana Jungle Chocolate to share and yes, it too is good.
The conclusion we came to after this very unscientific taste test is that coconut and chocolate go really well together. It doesn’t matter what kind of chocolate you combine with the coconut—dark, milk or simply the cacao beans—the combination is always a winner.
