If you have had cacao nibs and enjoy them, then you are a better person than I. You will enjoy these more than I did. These "nibs" have a bitter taste. I used them in an ice cream recipe. They are like the less likable, younger, smaller, egghead sibling of the chocolate chip: sure, they're "smarter" and are considered to be a "super food", but they taste really bad! Chocolate chips might not be packed with antioxidants, but they also don't hate on my taste buds. The reason I'm giving this 3 stars and not 1 is because I think cacao nibs are an acquired taste,and honestly, this IS a high quality product. I just did not appreciate the flavor, but then again, I had never eaten cacao nibs prior to this. If you are also unfamiliar with this food, I would advise NOT expecting the nibs to taste very similar to chocolate. You will ultimately be disappointed.
