Rawmio, The Chocolate Romeo

Over Memorial Day weekend, I spent most of my time outside.  As any of my family or close friends can tell you, if the sun is out, so am I.  I literally spent hours walking and jogging miles along the Boardwalk, capitalizing on some real vitamin D intake and burning some calories in the process.

It is surely not worthwhile to exercise for the sole reason of eating more, but when I stumbled upon the vegan Rawmio organic chocolates at the local health food market in Margate, New Jersey, I lost all willpower. Thankfully, with or without all of those miles I logged, this was a fight I could afford to lose - and a super yummy one at that!  

Rawmio is organic gourmet chocolate.  The wrapper actually says there is "edible love inside." It's true!

First I tried the hazelnut and fig raw chocolate bark.  I love both hazelnuts and figs.  Wanting to sample this was not a stretch, but I was even more inclined when I read the back of the package. "We have elevated the classic combination of nuts, dried fruit and chocolate to a new level that was formulated to inspire.  Our signature base of fair trade, gourmet, stone ground, raw chocolate envelopes crunchy sprouted hazelnuts and slices of perfectly chewy black mission figs.  We top this simple yet decadent masterpiece with a sprinkling of raw cacao nibs sweetened with coconut sugar for an exceptional treat you will dream about for days on end."

Why stop at just one when another option sounds so good?  I also bought the active superfood raw chocolate bark.  It contains some ingredients I have admittedly never heard of (cordyceps, Lion's mane and chaga - all types of mushrooms) but it also had lots of yummy things I have vetted time and again.  This bar says "We have combined some of the world's most healing mushrooms and superfoods with stone ground raw chocolate to create a unique treat that will both excite the senses and deliver powerful medicine to the body."  

No matter how good it tastes, how can you feel guilty for eating that?
