Just finished eating my bar of chocolate and i came to the conclusion that Santander is a little too bitter for me.I prefer Jet.Even though its waxy,it taste sweeter.

National Chocolates could have had a good thing, but I think they got lazy and/or greedy. A few years ago they sold those 70g / 2.7 oz bars for $2400 pesos. Now they're $3300 to $3500. The competition has jumped on the dark chocolate as a health food thing and is selling 100g / 3.4 oz bars for less money. Although cocoa/cacao, sugar and milk are are abundant in Colombia I can buy a US, Swiss, German, Belgian or French chocolate bar cheaper in the US than a Colombian bar. And that's with a weak dollar. Dumb asses. Haha.

Anyway, I don't care for the dark chocolate bars with the coffee mixed in. But the Santanders that are 65% or 70% cocoa are quite good (check out their website, they also have milk chocolate at 35% and a semi-sweet at 53%). You have to take a small bite and let the good stuff melt in your mouth, not chomp through it like a cheap, waxy Jet bar.
