Joe Van Goghs - Dark Chocolate Expresso Beans

If you are a dark chocolate lover and like coffee as well, you are a fool for not having purchased these magical beans from Joe Van Goghs while supplies lasted. Seriously, you are stupid - you are so stupid. (If you didn't get this joke, please refer to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtZfW2z9dw).

Not only were they $2.99 for a bag nearly bursting at its plastic seams in bean-y goodness, but also in terms of caffeine utility these were a much bigger bang (pun intended), both mentally and physically (as in the physical reaction to caffeine overload, not the other kind you dirty people) for the buck (no pun intended here, sorry). 

They were also "magically delicious ©" and not overtly sweet like most mass-produced (if these are mass-produced) coffee beans, such as Starbuck's. In my opinion, dark chocolate lovers love dark chocolate because it's not as sweet and fakey-milky/grainy as regular milk chocolate. So if you're going to make a dark chocolate bean, people, at least not make it too sweet! Unless you happen to be making a dark chocolate bean targeting milk chocolate people who would like to think that eating dark chocolate will make them feel more sophistiated/foodie-like, but can't stand the bitterness of dark chocolate and thus revert to sweet dark chocolate that might as well be called a really dark milk chocolate bar without e milk. 

Well Joe Van Goghs does it the right way. This, plus the creaminess of just plain good dark chocolate, made every single point of my 2.99 food points worthwhile. Try it if you get the chance.
