Consider chopping it finely to add a sophisticated crunch to cookies, brownies, or even a savory chili. For a simple yet elegant dessert, use it to coat fresh strawberries or to create a rich ganache for cakes and tarts. Its unique flavor profile also pairs well with coffee or a robust red wine.

This blend creates a more nuanced and less uniformly sweet experience than plain chocolate bars.
