Finally another local company, Sarver Chocolate Company, selling allergen friendly items direct to consumer! I was excited to see a posting for this business in a local food allergy group. Finding chocolate and other sweets that are free from the top eight allergens and sesame is a bit of a challenge.

Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania we had two very reliably delicious chocolate businesses. As a child I would receive Sarris’ chocolate for Easter, and then as a young adult I fell in love with the Paras Chocolate Truffles from Betsy Ann chocolate that my boyfriend would pick up from the campus bookstore.  Enter food allergies later in life, and gourmet chocolate gifts became a rarity. There are some good alternatives, but I know how good chocolate can taste!

Enter Sarver Chocolate Company also selling their items under business Popped Envy Gourmet Popcorn. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the chocolate in the items I ordered. To be honest, I was expecting a chocolate with a waxier mouth feel, but this chocolate was exactly what I was looking for a high quality chocolate – allergies or not! I was excited to see they had a pretzel and potato chocolate combo while reviewing their menu. One of our favorite snacks and gifts to send to family from our time in Florida were the chocolate covered potato chips from Grimaldi Chocolates.

The Salted Chocolate, Pretzel & Potato Stix Bar was generous in size and shared between our family of four. The contents were crispy and fresh even though it had been about two weeks since I received my order. The chocolate was smooth and creamy, and very few chocolate places around here fail at simple milk chocolate, but not here!

We still have one more item to try (Salted Caramel Krispy Bar), but I trust it will be equally as delicious. I hope they consider expanding their product line a bit with smaller items of their current offerings. The bar was definitely meant to be shared given how rich it was. Whether it be shared between two, four, or with no one but yourself, the kids would love a smaller size! (Probably will add the two pack of Salted Chocolate Caramel buttons next time!)
