Picking the best dark chocolate bars from the masses of them available on the market can seem pretty tricky. There are different percents of cocoa content and different price levels. So, how do you know if the chocolate bar you are holding in your hand is truly the best choice for you? Well, below I will summarize a post I wrote on the Sulpice Chocolat website covering some tips that you should know in order to identify the best dark chocolate bars for you. For more information on what to look for when picking the best dark chocolate bars be sure to check out the official post here. 
1. Percent Cacao - This is personal. The higher percent cacao the more bitter the chocolate will be.
2. Beans - The best beans on the market are the Criollo and Trinitario bean varieties.
3. Mouthfeel - The chocolate should be smooth and creamy on your tongue.
4. No Hydrogenated Oils/ No Trans Fats - Cocoa butter should be the only fat present in the best chocolates.
5. No Vegetable Oils - There should be no additional fats added to the highest quality chocolate.
6. Minimal Processing - Processing removes flavors and antioxidants. Try to select a chocolate that undergoes minimal processing.
