When reviewing premium products, price is always a factor. Considering price as a factor, "cheap" tends to be a factor of both low price and low quality, while "expensive" tends to be the result of high price relative to the quality or size. In the case of some products, the price is higher than similar serving sizes, but that price is justified by the quality of the product and the net result is that the product is not, technically, expensive. Such is the case with the Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites. Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites have an amazing flavor and quality for the price, but despite how fair the price is for the quality, I kept finding myself wishing there were more of the candies for the price.

The Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites are damn near perfect for what they are!

Basics

Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites are a fairly new candy. The Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites are like mini-candy cups. They come as a quartet of treats on a thin cardboard tray. The 1.39 oz. package houses four candies which are each 1" by 1" squares that are 7/16" thick.

Ease Of Preparation

These are candy, so preparing them is as simple as opening the wrapper, removing it from the paper wrapper, and then eating the candy. There is no trick or mystery to eating Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites. As long as you have opposable thumbs and a mouth, the Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites are pretty much yours for the consuming!

Taste

The Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites smell delightfully, perfectly, of rich cacao and coffee. The chocolate component of the aroma is potent, rich and recognizable to anyone who loves dark chocolate. The dark chocolate scent mixes with the dark roasted coffee scent in the bouquet to be instantly inviting to the consumer.

In the mouth, the Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites are dry and sweet, flavored with a strong, dark flavor. The coffee and chocolate flavors are magnificently blended top embody both flavors without overcoming the palate with bitterness. By the time the chocolate coating cracks and the filling is exposed, the consumer is already overcome with the full, roasted flavors of coffee and the cacao which embodies the 70% dark chocolate wonderfully.

The Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites leave a dry aftertaste in the mouth that is not actually bitter. Instead, the aftertaste is smoky and dry without being unpleasant, much like if one has just finished consuming a truly potent dark roast coffee.

Nutrition

These are candy, so it is tough to look at these for something nutritious and then blame them for not being healthy. Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites are not nearly as bad as they could be on the nutrition front, which is unsurprising given how good the ingredients in this chocolate are. The primary ingredients are Bittersweet chocolate, caramel, and sugar. There is nothing unpronounable in these candies; everything in them is easily identified, like having 100% arabica coffee beans.

A serving of the Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites is considered one package (four pieces). From a single package, Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites provides 190 calories and 14 grams of fat. There is 1% of the RDA of cholesterol and 5 mg of sodium. There is 4% of one's daily Vitamin D and Potassium in the Bites, as well as 20% of the RDA of Iron.

Honestly, these are candy and anyone looking to them for actual nutrition needs to get a reality check. These are not Vegan-compliant, nor are they recommended for anyone with a nut allergy as they are produced on equipment that processes peanuts and tree nuts! They are not noted to be kosher, though they are gluten-free and made using Non-GMO ingredients. There are allergy warnings for milk and soy.

Storage/Clean-up

The package of these Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites remain fresh for quite some time. The ones my wife got me for my birthday would have expired on May 23, 2018, had we not eaten it already. Given that they are wrapped in a very sealed package, it is hard to imagine just what it would take for these to go bad outside melting and refreezing. These Wild Ophelia chocolates do not seem especially susceptible to melting, though.

As for cleanup, I applaud those who actually throw the wrappers away in socially appropriate places, as opposed to litter. Outside that, there is no real cleanup needed, unless one is eating them in a hot environment. In that case, it is likely one would need to wash their hands. If this chocolate melts into most fabrics, it will stain. Getting them to melt, though, takes quite a bit.

Overall

Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites have an amazing flavor, are made from high-quality ingredients and are enough to satisfy anyone who wants a powerful blend of dark chocolate and rich, dark roasted coffee!
