Graffiti Zoo ~ Zanzibar Racing Snails

I'm in a good mood today; my brother's first child was born on January 30th, and now she's coming home! What better way to celebrate than with a delicious treat of some kind? In honor of my new niece Ava, I've decided to review the scrumptious Zanzibar Racing Snails from Graffiti Zoo.

I couldn't resist picking up these chocolates. The ingredient list reads like my own personal candy fantasy-"All Natural Dark Chocolate, Cranberries & Roasted Almonds topped with Sea Salt & Sugar Crystals." I absolutly love all those things by themselves, and combining them is simply an act of providence.

This stuff is delicious! The chocolate is basically a bark-style candy: a thin plank of dark chocolate with cranberries and almonds added in and sea salt and sugar sprinkled on top, then broken into irregular pieces. The flavors blend very well together, and the amount of each ingredient used is just right. The chocolate is perfect; it has the dry notes that I'm used to in dark chocolate and just the right amount of sweetness.

Graffiti Zoo is a family run company based right here in my home state of Georgia, and their products are sold at several retailers statewide. They also sell their different types of chcolate from their website, so you out-of-state folks are in luck. They have all kinds of flavors and combos, and they all have animal-based names. Hey, what do you expect from a company named Graffiti Zoo? To top it all off, the company donates a portion of its proceeds to the Conservation Endowment Fund of the American Zoo & Aquarium Association. You can treat yourself and help animals all at the same time!

So, here's to my little niece Ava... may she live long and enjoy snacks as much as her aunt Alley Cat!
