If you’re the sort of person who likes a piece of very plain, dark, simple chocolate after a meal and think that every week everything I recommend is too fancy, complicated and expensive, then I have the perfect bar for you this week. Co-op’s Irresistible Single Origin 85% dark, made with cocoa from Peru (£1.95, 100g).

Like all high-cocoa content chocolates, it’s dry on the tongue (more so because it also contains cocoa powder, not sure why). It’s not craft chocolate, but for under £2 and single origin – come on.
