if you have had cacao nibs and enjoy them then you are a better person than [SEP] if you have had cacao nibs and enjoy them then you are a better person than i you will enjoy these more than i did these nibs have a bitter taste i used them in an ice cream recipe they are like the less likable younger smaller egghead sibling of the chocolate chip sure they are smarter and are considered to be a super food but they taste really bad chocolate chips might not be packed with antioxidants but they also do not hate on my taste buds the reason i am giving this stars and not is because i think cacao nibs are an acquired tasteand honestly this is a high quality product i just did not appreciate the flavor but then again i had never eaten cacao nibs prior to this if you are also unfamiliar with this food i would advise not expecting the nibs to taste very similar to chocolate you will ultimately be disappointed
