Are you able to do a $20 "shipped" milk chocolate only pack?
We all know that's the best for breakfast.
Thanks!

Hello! I'm out of stock right now of Paria milk bars till next week. I have in hand Del Rey milk bars and white chocolate.
Pictures in a few hours. I will offer both here, Del Rey and Paria
Pm if you still want these.
So I received my chocolates today, and I will say I'm very impressed. I'd consider myself a borderline foodie. I try and go after unique and tasty things that you can't typically find easily. I have scorned chocolates in the US for a long time, because its all produced cheaply and at low quality, as thats what the majority of people are willing to buy.
The packaging was well done, bubble wrapped thoroughly. One bar was a little bit broken, but its not really a big deal. Opening the box, an intense chocolate smell wafted out. The bars are packaged in plastic, then paper, and foil, but you can still smell the chocolate very easily through the packaging.
I haven't busted into all of the bars, but I can give some impressions based on what I had. The first thing I opened up was the Chocolate Paria Chaquaracual 70% bar. The 92 Gram bars come pre-scored with 24 sections (~3.8 grams/section). I popped a piece into my mouth, and waited for it to melt, but it didn't. Thats when I remembered, unlike Hershey bars and other junk chocolate made with high milk fat and oils, good quality chocolate doesn't melt at body temperature. Throw an m&m in your hand, and see how long it takes to become a sticky mess to compare. The three ingredients in the Chocolate Paria 60/70% bars are cacao, sugar, and chocolate liquore. No milk or fillers so they are gluten free/vegan as well for anyone who cares. The taste starts off subtle, but when you bite into it, it becomes very pleasant and smooth. What impressed me the most was how nice the after taste was, and how long it lasted. I kind of got a nutty vibe from it, but I'm assuming thats just what cacao tastes like in bean form. Simple but tasty.
The Chocolates el Rey are in a similar boat but slightly different. They come as a mix of 32, 5 gram squares in 73.5%, 70%, and 61% cacao. They are all individually packaged as seen in the photo. The ingredients are Cacao, chocolate liquore, sugar, soy lecithin, and Vanilla, so again gluten free/vegan. The chocolates el Rey are a bit smoother and sweeter than the Chocolate Paria, I'd assume due to the additional ingredients. The taste is a bit stronger, and again very pleasant.
I was comparing the 70% Chocolate Paria and the 73.5% Chocolates el Rey. As I said, I haven't tried everything yet, but the main difference I would say between them, is the level of processing. If you want something that is simple and tastes as close to natural chocolate as possible, the chocolate Paria is what you are looking for. If you want something that is a really tasty chocolate bar as you probably think of chocolate bars, the Chocolates el Rey I think are a better fit. Overall, at $5/bar including shipping, you aren't paying much more than you would for a junky Godiva bar of similar size in a grocery store. I'll definitely be ordering again.
I typically don't bother touching milk chocolate, but for my next order, I think I'll try the rest of what you are offering.
*I didn't receive a vouch sample of the chocolate, I was a full paying customer who wanted to get some tasty chocolate as a holiday gift, and was happy enough with it to leave my wall of text review to help anyone else wondering if its worth getting.
*edit*
After sharing with those who I intended to give the chocolate to as gifts, we have all realized something that I think is really important to mention here. The chocolate is high quality as advertised and known from the brand, however there is a major difference between this and say Swiss chocolate. If you want to taste the most decadent melt in your mouth eye rolling chocolate, this isn't it. You are after Swiss chocolate. If you want to taste old world style cacao and nothing fancy, this is what you are looking for.
