Bar of the Week - Dole's Waialua Estate


70% Dark Chocolate
Origin:  Hawai'i

Calling all locavore chocophiles!  If you're looking for chocolate grown close to home, Waialua Estate is it.  Dole grows the pesticide-free beans on its estate in O'ahu and Guittard transforms them into artisan bars. 

While the packaging is, well, a little touristy (a hula girl?? really, Dole??), the chocolate inside is no mere novelty.  Each small box contains 5 smooth, creamy mini-bars that burst with bright, fruity notes of raspberry, cherry and raisin. 

Stop by on Saturday to enjoy a sample of a world-class chocolate that's grown and made in America!
