What comes to your mind, when it is a festival?
Chocolates!!
This is a widely sought after product as it brings in the mood of celebrations. Sweetness removes the bitterness and also makes all at home, irrespective of the age or gender to fall in love with it,
I usually buy sweets always, when there is a festival. Diwali is the most favourite festival of mine and hence sweets finds its place compulsorily in my list. This year, along with sweets, I also wanted to buy some chocolates for my family. As I was searching online, I stumbled upon BeeTees website and decided to give them a try.
Before going into my experience, let us see some interesting facts about the Chocolates.
1. Aztecs used cacao seeds as a form of currency.
2. The first chocolate bar was invented in the year 1847.
3. Chocolate Milk was invented in Jamaica.

7. It takes the whole of one year's crop of one tree to manufacture half a kilo of Cocoa.
8. During the Aztec reign, a slave could be bought for 100 cocoa beans.
9. The first Cacao trees were found in the Amazon basin and the Venezuelan and the Colombian Andes.
10. To make a single pound of chocolate, 400 beans is required approximately.
Now, let us come back to the experience of mine tasting the Melt Chocolates.
Why did I zero in on this?
There are few reasons which attributed to this.
a. This brand is ISO 22000:2018 Certified.
b. They have FSSAI Certification.
c. They also have GMP(Good Manufacturing Practice) Certification.
With an impressive shelf life of 12 months, these bars contain 48% Milk Chocolate, 54% Coconut Milk and 72% Dark Chocolate(As I bought three unique bars). Major ingredients are Cacao Beans along with Brown Sugar and Cacao Butter.
Chocolates with higher Cacao content are believed to strengthen the heart and lower the risk of heart coronary disease.
Packing:
These three bars came in a neatly packed insulated box with cooling gel pack inside it. Hence when I refrigerated it and opened it for consumption, I did not see any change in the shape or size. Also, each of these chocolates were wrapped with golden/silver foil papers twice(around the circumference) unlike the normal ones where you get to see the chocolate as soon as you remove the golden foil.
Taste:
I must admit that it was beyond my expectations. I could feel and taste the rich sense of Cacao which lingered in my tongue for good few minutes eve after I finished consuming the bar. To conclude, this is a Premium Chocolate with an extraordinary taste which makes you feel that you have had consumed the World Famous Belgium/Swiss Chocolate, here in India.
P.S. I am keeping the boxes and the foils as a souvenir.
