Taking care of your skin can mean different things to different folks, but most of us want our skin to look healthy, to have a certain "glow" even though it better not emit light. One way to get that is through the foods and beverages we consume. I have very sensitive skin and a lot of allergies, so what my dermatologist calls "good skin" is actually a result of my hydrating and not using cosmetics at all for decades now. Also genes help a lot. What if I ate something that claimed it could improve my skin? Today I'm going to reveal the results of a six-day experiment with TAC Delights GLOW Chocolate. I got this product for free through the Amazon Vine program in exchange for reviewing it on their website; this post is an unexpected bonus that I received no compensation for.
First let's be clear: Six days is not enough to judge is a product can improve your skin, but it certainly can prove if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. I am allergic to may grasses, but those are the ones I've grown up around, not this Finger Millet listed on the label. I watched carefully to see if I had a negative reaction.
Does this taste like premiere dark chocolate as the description claims it will or does it taste like all of the added ingredients? Dark chocolate made with cocoa butter and cocoa massas the first two ingredients is a hopeful sign. Uncommon ingredients for chocolate are the Finger Millet (Ragi), Amla Powder (Indian Gooseberry), Rose Petal Powder, Pumpkin Seeds, Flax Seeds, Pomegranate Extract, and Turmeric Extract; some of those can be powerful flavors.
The scent is chocolate but not dark, it has a more general chocolate candy flavor that reminded more of mass produced molded chocolates. As you can see in the photo, it has a leaf and cocoa bean image on the top. The bar measures 1.5 X 1.25 X 0.25 inches and weighed 0.4 ounces on my kitchen scale. The chocolate made a soft snap when I bit into it and a very soft sound as I chewed it. It was rather dry and had a cocoa powder flavor more than a creamy or smooth chocolate that I normally expect from a bar or piece of chocolate. There were no counter flavors as I had feared, it wasn't sweet and it wasn't bitter either. A waxy texture built up on my tongue as I continued to take bites. Letting it melt in my mouth didn't change the flavor or the feeling of the chocolate.
This is not a cheap candy to just try on a whim. At the price listed on April 2, 2026, when I wrote this review, each 0.4 ounce bar in this box costs $4.50. That's dark chocolate plus a lot of extra ingredients, I don't know what type of cocoa beans were used, so I can't say this is worth that price for the chocolate alone. It certainly is far from the best or the worse chocolate we've tested here on The Chocolate Cult. That means, it should be of average price.
