How I will eat my elephant....er...I mean...a LOT of chocolate

It has been overwhelming thinking about where to start with this blog. The world of chocolate is as vast as the world of wine. I don't quite feel up to purchasing a $14 bar I know I won't fully appreciate till I learn more about what makes it a $14 bar. But I can't simply wait until I become an expert to begin. 

So what do I do here?  Do I simply review chocolate, one bar at a time? Do I compare chocolates? Should I use a standardized ranking system? What bars do I even start with?

Answer: Power Rankings


I will begin my journey power ranking chocolate.


Power rankings are used in sports all the time, especially in football. According to wikipedia.org, "power rankings, can be directly provided (e.g., by asking people to rank teams), or can be derived by sorting each team's ratings and assigning an ordinal rank to each team, so that the highest rated team earns the #1 rank." In other words, power rankings can be entirely subjective, or entirely objective, depending on the source.


Here, the source is me. My power rankings will be entirely subjective and wholly biased. I will tackle one brand at a time, power ranking each bar, providing a brief justification for that ranking.

The first brand I will tackle in the coming weeks is


pronounced chew-WOW
Visit their website to learn about the brand, and find out where you can get their bars near you!
