A Chocolate Rose for Valentine’s
February 6, 2012
Maqui Chocolate
“Chocoholic”, “choco-junkie”, “La Choco Aficionado” – you name it, I’ve been called it. As a chocolate lover, I’ve always been sourcing and looking for the latest and tastiest ways to create chocolate recipes at home, and every once in a while, I come across a particularly great product that inspires me (and makes its way into my purse or gym bag!)
I’ve known about Righteously Raw for a couple years now, and each product I’ve tried has been better than the last. Not only are the ingredients very pure, but each variety is loaded with a layer of superfoods – which makes the bar extra chewy, extra healthy, and extra delicious. This time, I was especially excited to try a different flavor, the Rose Maqui Bar.
It’s not easy to find a raw chocolate that tastes as good as this one. Not only is it nut free, but it also has the added benefit of one of my favourite superfoods: Maqui. Maqui is native to South America, is very high in antioxidants, and it allows your body to get rid of unnecessary toxins. Keep in mind that the Rose Maqui Bar is pure, organic, vegan, raw, gluten/nut free and kosher chocolate. Talk about a chocolate bar loaded of hearty goodness!
Since I am so delighted with the Rose Maqui Bar, I’d love for you to try it. Tell me why you’re eager to try this chocolate, and I’ll send one over to you for free! Hurry – the contest ends on February 10th, 2011 at 3:30pm EST and there’s only ONE winner!
Or, if you simply cannot wait to try them yourself or get an early Valentine’s gift for your secret crush, you can find the Rose Maqui Bar at various different health food stores in Toronto.
We’re looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Happy Eating!

I’m excited to try this chocolate because I LOVE chocolate; especially when its raw and full of nutrition! I got a lot of chocolate over the holidays but it is almost gone so I need to replenish my chocolate stash.
Sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing
We would love to try the Raw Rose Bar because I am currently seven months pregnant and my daughter’s name will be Akshara Rose. A few more delicious antioxidents in a delicious form are always a lovely treat! Thank you
What a beautiful name Jessica!
I would love to try this chocolate brand. I’ve seen others mention it on their blogs as being WONDERFUL! I adore quality raw chocolate and this one looks to be one of those gems. I’ve never tried maqui and would love to. Thanks for the review!
Your welcome Kibby! This chocolate does live up to it’s reputation!
Because I am nursing my little man and mommy needs a good healthy chocolate break, but it will also be healthy for him
Start them while they are young!
Hi, I’m Alex, and I’m a chocoholic. (And this is when you all say: “Hi Alex”.) I love, love, love chocolate. And to find out that there is a delicious RAW chocolate, that has good things in it, plus is gluten free AND vegan?! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!!
Hilarious Alex. I get it. I am the same – among most others. Notice it is mostly women who responded? Gluten free, vegan, kosher, nut free! It’s one of a kind! This chocolate would be proud to feed your addiction!
Hello,
I absolutely love everything organic and raw. I would love to try this chocolate, actually I just emailed them to find out who carries them in Toronto. They look amazing.
There are quite a few stores, like Noah’s, the Big Carrot among others. It comes at a price, but it is worth it!
Thank you.
I am already in love with their caramel version and would love to try the Rose Maqui bar.
Have you tried the Maca?
I want to try this because Chocolate is my FAVourite food item. I usually get the yummy stuff from Chocosol, but I would love to try this too! I have been using your chocolate super smoothie recipe most mornings and would love to try some new superfoods with my chocolate.
Chocosol is fantastic stuff! Glad you are making yourself some chocolate smoothies in the am, what a great way to start the day! Beats coffee, that’s for sure.
I love all things chocolate – as does my other half of 34 plus years. So if I could entice him with something delicious, decadent & RAW health, what a thanks we might give each other
Happy Valentine’s Day.
Sounds like the perfect thing to share together!
I’d love to try this chocolate as it is really nice to find chocolate that I can say is HEALTHY! I’ve been dairy free since I met you early last summer and this chocolate would be a nice gift to ring in my 25th birthday!
This chocolate is truly healthy and pure. There is nothing like it !
Hi There,
I am a breastfeeding mom who loves to indulge in some healthy and delicous chocolate now and then :O)
Who doesn’t! Thanks Jamie!
Like you, I am obsessed with all things chocolate and I am always excited by chocolates that can be considered healthy!!
Also, excited to try my first class next Thursday – Asian theme sounds incredible!
I can’t wait to have you at your first class! Chocolate is always delicious after Asian food!
It’s simple: I love chocolate. The raw(er) the better.
I’ve been on the hunt for an extra-special high quality gluten & dairy-free chocolate Valentine’s treat for my family. Although my kids are young they already appreciate quality food and we’re always eager to try new ingredients. Never had maqui berry before… BTW – appreciate everything you do Marni.
It’s wonderful that you are introducing your family to good quality ingredients! Even kids can appreciate it!
I only just learned of the amazingness of cacao…but have yet to have the pleasure of trying a raw chocolate bar! And because there’s nowhere to buy them here
I would absolutely love to try this chocolate that is raw, vegan, and gluten free!! Have I died and gone to heaven? I would love to share it with friends and family to spread the word that words Vegan and chocolate DO go together, in a sinfully delicious way!!
Agree…totally!
